[INTRO]
A G


[VERSE 1]
   A
An evil kind of sorrow makes me wait until tomorrow
           G
For what I really want today
    A
The sadness in the picture makes it look much richer
            G
Than what I wanted it to say


[CHORUS]
                  A                          Asus4
Believe it if you like, you might as well be tryinG
         G
As doing nothing here at all
                A                           Asus4
Sleeping in the night, you might as well be trying
         G
As doing nothing here at all


[VERSE 2]
A
Even in the evenings I've got time to pick and choose
            G
Who I would like to be a friend
    A
And one will always be here and love will last forever
       G
We are forever to the end


[CHORUS]
                  A                          Asus4
Believe it if you like, you might as well be tryinG
         G
As doing nothing here at all
                A                           Asus4
Sleeping in the night, you might as well be trying
         G
As doing nothing here at all
                       E    G
You do nothing here at all


[VERSE 3]
  A
A candle on the mantelpiece, it's evidence to show
            G
The kind of things I like to see
        A
You can take it as a warning to keep the fire burning
         G
When the singer goes away with me


[BRIDGE]
      B11
There has to be a river, I saw it in a dream
         B11
I know exactly where I'm going
         E
I know exactly where I've been


[VERSE 4]
    A
And whisper in the open breeze I like the clouds you love the trees
G
Candelabra wait for me
A
This is not an easy way to do the things you have to say
   G
"I love you will you stay with me?"


[CHORUS]
                  A                          Asus4
Believe it if you like, you might as well be tryinG
         G
As doing nothing here at all
                        A                               Asus4
You won't always get it right, but you might as well be trying
         G
As doing nothing here at all
                       E   G
You do nothing here at all
                  A                          Asus4
Believe it if you like, you might as well be tryinG
         G
As doing nothing here at all
                A                           Asus4
Sleeping in the night, you might as well be trying
         G
As doing nothing here at all
                       E    G  A  G  A  G  A
You do nothing here at all
