Time To Time

G Days gone by the west coast waves, crash up against the shore Em Of a beach I haven't been to or at least can't remember no more C My love and constitutions they only get me so far G/F# It doesn't take but one look up to know how hard it is to reach the stars G And I've felt my share of loneliness, still feel it now from time to time Em I try to get some rest, these issues tend to fade with morning light C But even if my darkness has decided where it stays G/F# I suppose that I will close my eyes and try to find another way Em C G/F# Is it love that keeps me planted here or the fear of something new Em C G/F# Won't come along if I leave either way I don't know what to do Em C G/F# I've tried my best to figure out those pieces that I lack C G/F# Em Now I feel all that I've lost pulling me back C G/F# G Oh yes, I feel all that I've lost pulling me back G Seashells on the east-coast, find them buried in the sand Em Of a beach I haven't been to but you said you hope one day I can C All the inspirations you've amounted in your life G/F# They find their way right back to me through quotes and colors that you live by G And is it through the regrets or achievements in your life Em That you manifest the compass that will try to steer me in the right C Direction is a funny thing when tides and currents change G/F# It's a burden that I carry one you've carried all the same Em C G/F# Just a number's number cycling through everything Em C G/F# Finding what escaped you in those days Em C G/F# And it isn't that I want to live the life you never did C G/F# Em It's just for my sake I will learn from your mistakes C G/F# G Oh it's for my sake I will learn from your mistakes
