C#m                            G#m
Time shakes, found you at the water
                     F#m
At first you were my father,
                       C#m
now I love you like a brother
C#m                           G#m
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
                        F#m
This world at times will blind you
                          C#m
Still I know I'll see you there

Chorus:
A              F#m                C#m
Come a little closer, then you'll see
C#m
Come on, come on, come on
A                    F#m              C#m
Things aren't always what they seem to be
C#m
Come on, come on, come on
A           F#m                                C#m
Do you understand the things that you've been seein'
C#m
Come on, come on, come on
A           F#m
Do you understand the things
                   C#m
that you've been dreamin'
A              F#m               C#m
Come a little closer, then you'll see

Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders
Will we burn on or just smolder?
Somehow I know I'll find you there
Ooh, you wanna see if you can change it, change it
Still I know I'll see you there

Chorus:
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come on, come on, come on
Things aren't always what they seem to be
Do you understand the things
that you've been seein'?
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things
that you've been dreamin'?
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come a little closer, then you'll see

A            F#m           C#m    F#m G#7
Ten thousand people stand alone now
A          F#m             C#m
And in the evening the sun sets,
 F#m     G#7       A
Tomorrow it will rise

  A   F#m  C#m   F#m      G#7    A
"Time flies by," they all sang along
"Time flies by," they all sang along
"Time flies by," they all sang along

  A F#m C#m F#m  G#7
"Time flies by, by"

Chorus:
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come on, come on, come on
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come a little closer, then you'll see
