Intro:

G /// Cadd9 /


Verse 1:

  G           Cadd9  G
If we knew then what we all know now,
 D     Em    C   G
Would it change our lives somehow?
 G         Cadd9  G
Could we ever find another way,
 D     Em    C    G
Free from words we dare not say?


Verse 2:

      G         Cadd9  G
There's a great big world we cannot see
 D  Em  C   G
Seperating you and me
     G        Cadd9   G
And the hardest ground is ours to plough
  D    Em      C    G
If we knew then what we all know now


Chorus 1:

  D    Em7  G/F#   C
So meet me here in no-man's land,
     G          C      D
Let the tide wash away our lives in the sand.
  Em         D     C
For all that's gone and all that's been,
   D  Em   C    G
For mercy in the space between.


Verse 3:

  G          Cadd9   G
If we knew then what we all know now,
 D     Em    C   G
Would it change our lives somehow?
G         Cadd9  G
We could all seek until we find,
 D   Em    C    G
Love is patient, love is blind.


Verse 4:

     G      Cadd9   G
But the circle never knows an end,
 D    Em  C    G
Hindsight is a callous friend
  G            Cadd9  G
Our conscience tells what we can't allow,
  D    Em          G
If we knew then what we all know now.


Chorus 1:

D      Em7  G/F#   C
So meet me here in no-man's land,
     G         C      D
Let the tide wash away our lives in the sand.
  Em         D     C
For all that's gone and all that's been,
   D   Em   C    G
With mercy in the space between.


Chorus 2:

   D     Em7    G/F#    C
Too much, too soon, too little, too late,
     G           C   D
But the wisest know when it's time to wait.
   Em         D     C
From all that's been and all that's gone,
   D    Em   C   G
Let kindness always lead us on.
