This is the version Billie Joe sings at the end of the American Idiot Broadway Cast Album.
When It's Time
Billie Joe Armstrong
G                       D/F#
Words get trapped in my mind,
              Em                              C
Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do.
          G                          D
Cause the first day you came into my life,
               G              D
The time ticks around you
G                    D/F#
But then I need your voice
              Em                                    C
As the key to unlock all the love that's trapped in me
           G         D             G            G7
So tell me when it's time to say I love you.
C             G
All I want is you to understand, that
D                                    G          G/A    G/B
when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to.
C               G
We are all born in a world of doubt
               D
But there's no doubt, I figured out
C    G/B    G/A
I    love   you.

C             G

D                                    G          G/A    G/B
when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to.
C               G
We are all born in a world of doubt
               D
But there's no doubt, I figured out
C    G/B    G/A
I    love   you.
G             D/F#
I feel lonely for
               Em                               C
All the losers that will never take the time to say,
         G                      D/F#      D
What was really on their mind instead
               G            G/D    D
They just hide away
G                 D/F#
Yet they'll never have 
                 Em                               C
someone like you to guide them and help along the way.
             G         D             G
Or tell them when it's time to say I love you.
           G         D             C            G/B     D/A    G
So tell me when it's time to say I love you.
