This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Everybody has their own unique picking style; use yours! The following tab
replicates the song, but not absolutely perfectly (impossible). It sounds
just like the record though.

A G D/F# Em
Time has come for us to pause
A G D/F# Em
And think of living as it was
A G D/F# Em
Into the future we must cross, must cross
A G D/F# Em
I'd like to go with you
A G D/F# Em
And I'd like to go with you
You say I'm harder than a wall
A marble shaft about to fall
I love you dearer than them all, them all
So let me stay with you
So let me stay with you
And as we walked into the day
Skies of blue had turned to grey
I might have not been clear to say, to say
I never looked away
I never looked away
And though I'm feeling you inside
My life is rolling with the tide
I'd like to see it be an open ride
Along with you
Going along with you
The time we borrowed from ourselves
Can't stay within a vaulted well
And living turns into a lender's will
So let me come with you
And let me come with you
And when we came out into view
And there I found myself with you
When breathing felt like something new, new
Along with you
Going along with you
