EmEm7F C
INTRO:
Em F
Time he's waiting in the wings he speaks of senseless things
C
His script is you and me boys
Em F
Time he flexes like a whore falls wanking to the floor
C
His trick is you and me, boy
C#dim7 Dm C C9 F
Time in Quaaludes and red wine demanding Billy Dolls
D C
And other friends of mine take your time
C/B Am G F
The sniper in the brain regurgitating drain
D/F# G C C/B
Incestuous and vain and many other last names
Am G F D/F# G
I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think Oh God I'm still alive
C C/B Am
We should be on by now
G F D/F#
We should be on by now
G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Em
You are not a victim you just scream with boredom
F C
You are not evicting time
EmF C
SOLO:
C#dim7 Dm C C9 F
Chimes Goddamn you're looking old you'll freeze and catch a cold
D C
'Cause you've left your coat behind take your time
C/B Am G F
Breaking up is hard but keeping dark is hateful
D/F# G C
I had so many dreams I had so many breakthroughs
C/B Am G F
But you my love were kind but love has left you dreamless
D/F# G C
The door to dreams was closed your path was real dreamless
C/B Am G F
Perhaps you're smiling now smiling through this darkness
D/F# G C
But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming
C/B Am G F D/F# G C
We should be on by now We should be on by now
C/B Am G F D/F# G C
We should be on by now We should be on by now
C/B Am G F D/F#
We should be on by now
G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah, time!
