[Intro]
Bm E A D
[Verse]
Bm E
Wasted on the floor again and no one seems to mind
A D
I can go back out and that would take up too much time
Bm C#m A D
I'm still busy callin out your name wide eyed and face down on the pine
Bm E
How I miss the colors of the leaves that grow in spring
A F#m
And how you used to dance upon the rain and I would sing
Bm E A D
How i'd give most anything to watch you twirl around for one more time
[Chorus]
Bm E A D
I need more time
Bm E A
I need more time
[Verse]
Bm E
This is how you turned me to the archer from the arched
A D
This is where you turned me to the marksman from the marked
Bm E
This is how I learnt how to take the arrows in my back
C#m A D
And shoot them at the stars
Bm E
But how they all just circle back and meet me at the start
A F#m
And how they hit me hard enough to question who you are
Bm E
And how you got so close to me
E A D
And how you got so far
[Chorus]
Bm E A F#m
I need more time
Bm E A D
I need more time
Bm E A D
I need more time
Bm E A D
I need more time
Bm E
The shrapnel of my faith in you is cutting through my skin
A D
And somewhere in the mess around my body it begins
Bm E
And I don't see an end to this
D
So I'll enjoy the fire
[Chorus]
Bm E A D
I need more time
Bm E A D
I need more time
Bm E A D
I need more time
Bm E
I need more time
