[Am] [Em] Time, he's waiting in the wings [B] He speaks [Em] of [F] senseless things
His script is [C] you and me, boy
[Am] [E] Time, he flexes [Em] like a whore Falls wanking [F] to the floor
His trick [C] is you and me, [Am] boy
[C#m] Time, [E] in quaaludes and [Dm] red wine
[C] [E] Demanding [F] billy dolls
And other [D] friends of mine Take your time

The [G] sniper in [Am] the brain
[C] [F] Regurgitating drain

Ancestors invade Many are the [C]
last names

should be on [C] my own

Cause you've left your coat [D]
behind Take your [C] time
Breaking [G] up [Am] is hard [C] But keeping dark [F] is hateful
[F#m] I had so [G] many dreams I had so many [C]
breakthroughs
But few [G] my love [Am] were kind [C] But love has left [F] you dreamless
[D] The thought of dreams [G] was closed Your pop was [C] real and creamless
Perhaps [G] you're [Am] smiling now Smiling through [F] this darkness
[F#] But all I have [G] to give Is guilt for [C] dreaming
