[Verse 1]
D
Well I spoke with my father
G
On a notion I'd been told
D
I was sure that the chalkboard
G
had much greater to unfold
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D
I was looking through the fences
G
Could I ever fit this mold
D
And these lines Who would cross them
G
Save the foolish and the bold
[Chorus]
D
We were faster than our teachers
Bm G
Couldn't change my point of view
D
I was bound to turn up missing
G
Hoping I'd be found in you
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
I was captured in a moment
G
Fairest I had ever seen
D
All my searching all my theories
G
Took an instant to complete
[Chorus]
D
So I begged you to come with me
Bm G
What a lovely day to waste
D
For if only you'd consider
G
It would be my greatest escape
D
Just for a while
G
Oh just for a while
D
Just for a while
G
Oh just for a while
[Bridge]
D G
Oh oh-o-oh-o-oh-o-oh
D G
Oh oh-o-oh-o-oh-o-oh
[Verse 4]
D
In your canopy of freedom
Bm G
You paraded past my heart
D
When you begged me to consider
G
Knew I'd love to from the start
[Chorus]
D
We were faster than our teachers
Bm G
Couldn't change my point of view
D
I was bound to turn up missing
G
Hoping I'd be found in you
[Outro]
D
Just for a while
G
Oh just for a while
D
Just for a while
G
Oh just for a while
D
Just for a while
