Key: :[D#] (w: Cyndi Lauper, Rob Hyman)
INTRO: [G#] [A#] [Gm] [G#] :
[x2]
VERSE 1: ([Fm] + [D#] pattern)
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you.
Caught up in circles; Confusion is nothing new.
[G#] Flash-
[A#]-backs,
[Gm] warm
[G#] nights.
[G#] Almost
[A#] left
[Gm] behind
[G#] Suit-
[A#]-case of
[Gm] memo-
[G#]-ries;
VERSE 2:
Time after sometimes you picture me; I'm walking too far ahead.
You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said.
Then you say go slow, I fall behind. The second hand unwinds.
CHORUS:
If you're
[A#] lost you can
[A#/D] look and you
[Cm7] will find me.
[G#] Time after
[D#] time
If you
[A#] fall I will
[A#/D] catch you I'll
[Cm7] be waiting.
[G#] Time after
[D#] time
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [*R1 x2]
VERSE 3:
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey.
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm ok.
Secrets stolen from deep inside; The drum beats out of time.
REPEAT CHORUS:
You said go slow I fall behind; The second hand unwinds.
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[G#] Time after
[D#] time
[G#] Time after
[D#] time
[G#] Time after
[D#] time
