Key: :[C#] (w: Cyndi Lauper, Rob Hyman)
INTRO: [F#] [G#] [Fm] [F#] :
[x2]
VERSE 1: ([D#m] + [C#] pattern)
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you.
Caught up in circles; Confusion is nothing new.
[F#] Flash-
[G#]-backs,
[Fm] warm
[F#] nights.
[F#] Almost
[G#] left
[Fm] behind
[F#] Suit-
[G#]-case of
[Fm] memo-
[F#]-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
[G#] lost you can
[G#/C] look and you
[A#m7] will find me.
[F#] Time after
[C#] time
If you
[G#] fall I will
[G#/C] catch you I'll
[A#m7] be waiting.
[F#] Time after
[C#] 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:
[F#] Time after
[C#] time
[F#] Time after
[C#] time
[F#] Time after
[C#] time
