Bb   Ab/Eb  Eb
I just want our time to be     
slower and gentler, wi-----ser,  
free

We all live in extravagant times
Playing games we can't all win
Unintended emotional crimes
Take some out, take others in

I'm so tired of all we're going 
through
I don't want to live like that
I'm so tired of all we're going 
through
I don't want to love like that
I just want to be with you now and 
forever, peaceful, true


Eb                     Ab      
I wish I had the courage
Db/Ab  Ab


                             Eb  
To tell you face to face
Ab/Eb  Eb


                              F7
But I could wait forever

For the perfect time and place
  Bb      Ab/Bb



Ab/Bb  Eb         (rest of verse 
same as 1st)
We all   live such elaborate lives
We don't know whose words are true
Strangers, lovers, husbands, wives
Hard to know whose loving who

Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to live like that
Too many choices tear us apart
I don't want to love like that


I just want to touch your heart, may
 this confession be the start
