   Intro: Am-G-Am-F-E7-

  Am                G
   Look towards the future
             F             Em
   While I look towards the past
        Dm             G           C  Bm7-E7-
   And remember that's our lonely time
  Am                G
   Soon you'll be someone
   F           Em
   That I once was
       Dm         G            C  Bm7-E7-
   And something that left behind

  Am          G
   I grew without you
             F           Em
   But you will grow for me
     Dm              G            C  Bm7-E7-
   For you and I are one and the same
  Am          G         F            Em
   And your love will grow throughout me
            Dm           G          C-E7
   When you need me, just call my name

                  Chorus
         A            E/G#       F#m-E,A7
   I'm standing in the shadow of time
         D          B7          E        E7
   Not growin' older because I'm preoccupied
        A              F#7        Bm
   I'm standing on the shadow of time
     D           A   F#m   E pause  Am-G-Am-F-E7-
   Knowin' if I wait you will   be mine

  Am             G
   Now I must leave you
      F          Em
   I swear I'll return
          Dm        G        C  Bm7-E7-
   For nothing can keep me away
    Am        G          F           Em    
   From the sweet smile of your brown eyes
          Dm            G           C-E7
   Your light it shall show me the way

   (Repeat Chorus except last line)

      D           A  F#m Adim
   Knowin' if I wait you will
              D           A  
   Knowin' if I wait you will
              Bm          E   pause (Coda)
   Knowin' if I wait you will   be mine

   Coda: Am-G-Am-F-E7-Am
              Oooh...
