[D] [A]
Uneasy eyes [C#m] rest on a clock, [D] a nervous hand [C#m] reveals a watch, [Bm] a sudden glance, [A] a painful smile [G] and minutes slip [E] away.
[A] Unsettled heart [E] would skip a beat, [D] a dying heart [C#m] can find no peace, [Bm] a lonely sound, [A] the clock gets on [G] and hours slip [E] away.
Don't tell me [A] the time, [E] I don't want [A] to know, [E] don't tell me [A] the time, [E] a [F#m] sweet heart [A] can't hurt [D] me enough, don't tell me the time.
Sometimes [Bm] can't be proved, [D] every moment [Dm] that I'm away [A] from you.
Where did you go, don't [E] want to know, [A] why are you here, [C#m] it's never clear, [Bm] make love just once, [A] you're gone again, [G] and I'm alone [E] with time.
Don't tell me [A] the time, [E] I don't want [A] to know,
[E] don't tell me [A] the time, [E] a [F#m] sweet heart can't hurt [D] me enough, don't tell me the time.
Cause time can't be [Bm]
proved, [D] it's as you can [Dm] believe, keep [F#m]
[E] me waiting [D] here for you, [F#m]
[E] I have no dream [D] come true, [F#m] waiting [E] and watching, [D]
living [E] forever with [A] a wound.
[C#m]
[A] [D] [C#m]
[Bm] [A]
[G] [E]
Don't tell me [A] the time,
[E] I don't [A] want to know, [E] don't tell me [A] the time, [C#m] a [F#m] sweet heart can't hurt [D] me enough, don't tell me the time.
Cause time [Bm] can't be proved, [D] every moment [Dm] that I'm away [A] from you.
