Time machines escape the fall
     Em                          C
But cannot climb the prison wall
                     G
Nowhere to go they stumble headlong
  Em                                  F
Stumbling back to where they belong
         C          Am         F
Are you looking at my signs?
          C               Dm             F
Have you noticed they're no timelines?
        C             Am
Can you examine them sometimes?
     G
Can you?

C
                  G
Time machines colliding
 Em                        C
Back and forth reuniting
                   G
No real chance to run away
    Em                        F
No noble voices beckon them
          C             Am           F
Have you looked at what I've found?
       C                Dm            F
In the ocean where my thoughts drown
         C          Am
Can you walk on it sometimes?
     G
Can you?

C
                      G
Time machines, we'll buy them
      Em                C
I'll ride them with you
                 G
In the dreams of every page
      Em                   F
And phases we go through
         C         Am           F
Are you coming to meet with us?
          C           Dm            F
Will you be taking a seat with us
        C           Am
at any time in the future
        G
Or the past?

F
          C         Am            F
Is there no one to care for you?
           C         Dm            F
With any crosses to bear for you?
           C             Am
Or is the light always there for you 
        G       C
fading fast
