[Verse 1]
Eb      Bb                  Cm      G
 In the white washed cancer ward
Eb       Bb                Cm     G
 With my hot blood running wild
G          Bb               G     
 I see the pain behind your eyes
      Bb
But I search for reason
G        Bb              G
 And the knowing and the fear
       Bb
Of the passing season 
Eb                              C
Now, please give me strength to cope
And to keep our secret
Eb                          C
 Please give me strength to cope

[Chorus]
                  Cm
But the things we love
            Fm
They remain here still
                 Cm
There is time to wait
                     Bb
And there is time to kill
                        Fm
I see your outstretched hands
               Cm
To the closing door

           Eb         Bb           Cm
But it's a far better thing that I do
          Bb     F
Than I've done before

[Verse 2]
So it seems that murder is not so hard
I've eaten flesh and blood each day
And if I believe the things I write
Through the passing season
Then with a rifle in my hands
And with a thousand reasons, I'll wait
Far above the ground
In the the summer sunshine
And history changes now, forever

[Chorus]
But the things we love
They remain here still
There is time to wait 
And there is time to kill
From this barren land
Comes the seeds of war

So it's a far better thing that I do
Than I've done before
Yeah it's a far better thing that I do
Than I've done before

[Outro]
So of the things we love
They remain here still
There is time to wait
And there is time to kill
I see your outstretched hands
Through the closing door
But it's a far better thing that I do
Than I've done before ...
