I can get so worked up over almost anything
Running to the ends of it all to avoid feeling the sting
And I know it's best to be quick if you want to clean stains
But time after time I find I'm only quick to drop the reins
Well, there comes a time when you [A7must justify what you've done
Some watch their lives go by waiting for [Dm7]that time to [C7]come
It's more than possible your faith was [Am7]misapplied
For saving graces keep a watchful eye
Through the night
I saw a man so down, he'd never stand [Bm]again
And the thought that ailed me so was [Am7]that I knew how he was [Am7]feeling
He looked up to [C7]meet my [A]eyes, and [Bm]he choked ɾather than said
"I'll deal with my [A]misgivings on [C7]the day they find me dead"
Well, there comes a time when you [A7must justify what you've done
Some watch their lives go by waiting for [Dm7]that time to [C7]come
It's more than possible your faith was [Am7]misapplied
For saving graces keep a watchful eye
Through the night
Through the night
I've said a million [C7]words I wish I'd never spoke
And sometimes I've dared to [C7]speak my [A]mind, and [Bm]then just play it like [F]a joke
How can I act this way when I know and [Bm]ɾecognize
That all [Em]I've come to [C7]spite and [Bm]loathe looks out from my [A]own eyes?
Well, there comes a time when you [A7must justify what you've done
Some watch their lives go by waiting for [Dm7]that time to [C7]come
It's more than possible your faith was [Am7]misapplied
For saving graces keep a watchful eye
There comes a time when you [A7must justify what you've done
Some watch their lives go by waiting for [Dm7]that time to [C7]come
I've spent my [A]last ɾegrets on [C7]wasted alibis
For saving graces keeping watchful eyes
Through the night
Through the night
