Chorus:
C                    Em
We always said that love was not enough
G
We're always on the move
(Advice to heed)
C                   Em
And even though we longed to shut it off
G
We could never choose
(Advice to heed)
C                    Em
Now we know there's nothing awaiting us
G
Better than the truth
(Advice to heed)

I wanted to be part of something
I've got nothing but time
So the future is mine
(Advice to heed)
I wanted to be part of something
I've got nothing but time
So the future is mine
(Advice to heed)
I wanted to be part of something
I've got nothing but time
So the future is mine
