mind.
NB: In the second verse before the chorus ('And time has told me not to ask for more), Nick does a little
skip, so instead of as in Bar 3 (Verse), he does this;
e|---------------------|
B|---2-3-------2-------|
G|---2-2-------2-------|
D|---2-4-------2-------|
A|---------0-------0---|
E|---------------------|
He repeats this skip in every other verse except in verse 2 of the 2nd part ('Your tears they tell me') and
the last part (The repeat of 'And time has told me Not to ask for more') where he plays it as in Bar 3 of
the first verse again (phew!).
Chorus: (Instead of returning to Verse Bar 1, as in after Verse Bar 15)

{ Slowing down here }
Lyrics:
Verse:
Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A trouble cure for a troubled mind.
And time has told me
Not to ask for more
For someday our ocean
Will find its shore
Chorus:
So I'll leave the ways that are making me be
What I really don't want to be.
Leave the ways that are making me love
What I really don't want to love.
Verse:
Time has told me
You came with the dawn
A soul with no footprint
A rose with no thorn.
Your tears they tell me
There's really no way
Of ending your troubles
With things you can say.
And time will tell you
To stay by my side.
Keep on trying
Till there's no more to hide.
Chorus:
So leave the ways that are making you be
What you really don't want to be.
Leave the ways that are making you love
What you really don't want to love.
Verse:
Time has told me
You're a rare, rare find
A trouble cure
For a troubled mind.
And time has told me
not to ask for more
For someday our ocean
Will find its shore.
