Time Stands Still

G G I've been blind… she's been kind. C G She knows at times I forget to see. G G Through a cold dark cloud, an imaginary shroud C G or a shadow settles over me. Em C G I once was smart, it was back at the start. Em C I offered her my body and my soul. G Em Thought in my heart it would tear me apart C G It made me whole. G G Keep it simple, keep it clear. It's what we like to hear. C G She don't argue, she don't ever lie. G G If I say it's so, it's so. She don't want to know C G If it's a metaphor or something in disguise. Em C G She let me know, a long time ago Em C It's better to say just what I mean. G Em Truth to tell it can hurt like hell, C G But it keeps me clean. G G My guiding star… I don't stray far. C G I keep her in my mind and in my eye. G G I've been lost before, but never ANYMORE. C G I just look up at my compass in the sky. Em C G I had my fears, in the early years, Em C That I'd locked me up and throw'd away the key G Em I lost my mind to the ties that bind, C G But it set me free G G Oh she's fast,… I know I'll never ask, C G She's by me now but I don't really mind G G I hardly know… I'm oh so slow, C G My shadow often kicks me from behind. Chorus 4 Em C G I once was fast… in the distant past. Em C In a mighty demonstration of my will, G Em I kissed her twice at the speed of light. C G Time stood still. G Em I kissed her twice …at the speed of light, C G And time stood still.
