CAPO II Fret
He Gcircled and Bmstared
Emnervous and Cscared
he Gknew both the thrill and the cDost
but he dGidn?t think tBmwice
this aEmmazing deCvice
was his Amlast chance to see what he?Dd lost
now if Ctime is really a rDiver
and upsGtream?s where he needed to bCe
he set his Gsights on the Cpast
and GfinisBmhed his Emglass
and Dwent back in ChistorGy
To the Ccasual eye it's a bDarstool
but it's Greally much Bmmore than it Cseems
a Gfew drinks and tChen
she'll be wGith him aEmgain
as he sDits on the tCime macGhine
Bm Em C
Like Gall pionBmeers
he Emswallowed his Cfears
and Gwatched the whole room
fade to Dblack
he's Gdying to Bmgo
but he's Emno fool, he Cknows
how Amhard it will be to come Dback
but toCnight he's tired of the lDonely
and toGmorrow will not be the cCure
so he'll Gjust slip away C  
Gfind BmyesterdEmay
and Dspend one more Cnight with Gher
Now as Cfar as the customers can tBmell
he's just Done more fool who tGalks to himself
>                                      C  Bm  
but every man in this place would line up
if they Emknew what that seat reaDlly was
But to the Ccasual eye it's a Dbarstool
but it's Greally much Bmmore than it Cseems
just a Gfew drinks and tChen
she'll be wGith him agEmain
as he sDits on the tCime macGhine
Just a fGew drinks and thenC  
she'll be Gwith him agEmain
as he sDits on the Ctime macGhine

CAPO II Fret

G Bm

He circled and stared

Em C

nervous and scared

G D

he knew both the thrill and the cost

G Bm

but he didn?t think twice

Em C

this amazing device

Am D

was his last chance to see what he?d lost

C D

now if time is really a river

G C

and upstream?s where he needed to be

G C

he set his sights on the past

G Bm Em

and finished his glass

D C G

and went back in history

C D

To the casual eye it's a barstool

G Bm C

but it's really much more than it seems

G C

a few drinks and then

G Em

she'll be with him again

D C G

as he sits on the time machine

Bm Em C

G Bm

Like all pioneers

Em C

he swallowed his fears

and watched the whole room

fade to black

G Bm

he's dying to go

Em C

but he's no fool, he knows

Am D

how hard it will be to come back

C D

but tonight he's tired of the lonely

G C

and tomorrow will not be the cure

G C

so he'll just slip away

G Bm Em

find yesterday

D C G

and spend one more night with her

C Bm

Now as far as the customers can tell

D G

he's just one more fool who talks to himself

C Bm

but every man in this place would line up

Em D

if they knew what that seat really was

C D

But to the casual eye it's a barstool

G Bm C

but it's really much more than it seems

G C

just a few drinks and then

G Em

she'll be with him again

D C G

as he sits on the time machine

G C

Just a few drinks and then

G Em

she'll be with him again

D C G

as he sits on the time machine
