[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
FI need a little time
To think it over
I need a little space
Just on my own
I need a little time
To find my freedom
I need a little...
[Counter-Verse 1]
FFunny how quick the milk turns sour
BbIsn't it, Cisn't it
FYour face has been looking like that for hours
BbHasn't it, Chasn't it
BbPromises, promises Cturn to dust
FWedding bells just Gmturn to rust
BbTrust into misCtrust
[Verse 2]
FI need a little room
To find myself
I need a little space
To work it out
I need a little room
All alone
I need a little...
[Counter-Verse 2]
You Fneed a little room for your big head
BbDon't you, Cdon't you
You Fneed a little space for a thousand beds
BbWon't you, Cwon't you
BbLips that promise - feaCr the worst
FTongue so sharp - the bGmubble burst
BbJust into unjuCst
[Interlude]
F
[Verse 3]
FI've had a little time
To find the truth
Now I've had a little room
To check what's wrong
I've had a little time
And I still love you
I've had a little...
[Counter-Verse 3]
You Fhad a little time
And you had a little fun
BbDidn't you, Cdidn't you
While Fyou had yours
Do you think I had none
BbDo you, Cdo you
The freBbedom that you wanCted bad
Is yFours for good
I Gmhope you're glad
BbSad into unsaCd
[Verse 4]
FI had a little time
To think it over
Had a little room
To wwork it out
I found a little courage
To call it off
[Outro]
FI've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time
I've had a little time

To find my freedom

I need a little...

Promises, promises turn to dust

Wedding bells just turn to rust

To work it out

I need a little room

All alone

And you had a little fun

The freedom that you wanted bad

Is yours for good

I hope you're glad

Sad into unsad

[Verse 4]

To think it over

Had a little room

To wwork it out

I found a little courage

To call it off
