Am             F
Time is just a game I play
C                   G
It's written on the ocean's waves
Am           F
Circling beyond my brain
C                 G
Something I could not contain
Am                F           C G
Something I could not contain

[Verse 2]
Am              F
I know it and I cannot stray
C                G
The part of me I cannot break
Am              F
The loss of you beyond the gray
C                   G
I'm sticking to the chosen ways
Am                  F          C G
I'm sticking to the chosen ways

[Chorus]
Am              F
I picture you inside my brain
C               G
Reminding me to say my grace
Am              F
Reminding me to be amazed
C                 G
I missed you by a couple days
Am                F          C G
I missed you by a couple days

[Verse 3]
Am                 F
How much of you is who I'll be?
C                 G
How much of us is in between?
Am                  F
What is and what is yet to be?
C                  G
And can I hold the mystery?
Am                F      C G
I cannot hold the mystery

[Verse 4]
Am                     F
To think that you were once like me
C                    G
To think that I will be like you
Am                   F
To think that I will be consumed
C              G
To know that I remain confused
Am                F             C G
To always see the world in bloom

[Chorus]
Am                 F
To see it like you taught me to
C                   G
To know that I will be amazed
Am                F
I missed you by a couple days
C                 G
I missed you by a couple days
Am             F
Show me how to find my place
C                    G
To love the world as it remains
Am                F
I cannot know the time it takes
C                 G
I missed you by a couple days
Am                F          C G
I missed you by a couple days
