_ _ Went up, got another taxi, get a boo now, got another man to see.
Gotta call him on the telephone, now I gotta find him some paper.
_ Sit down, got another letter to write.
Think hard, gotta get the letter just right,
he'll ring it on the teller, no no, gotta write it a little later.
[G] _ [F#] All such bad [D] ass to bother, [Em] only one, two, three, go!
I've got the time tick tick in my head, I've got the time tick tick in [D] my head,
I've got the time tick [A] tick in my head, _ tick in my [E] head, _ [B] tick in my head, [Em] tick in [D] my head.

If I tell you what I'm doing to you, will you shut up and get out of my way?
Someone else will want to talk, no no, I ain't nowhere gonna go now.
Got the time, trying to get a watch, no time, never got a thing to do.
He's ringing on the telephone, no no, hearing it in my head now.
[G] All [D] such bad ass to bother, [E] only one, two, three, go!
I've got the time tick tick in my head, I've got the time tick tick [Bm] in my head,

tick [D] in my head, [Em] _ tick in my head.
