Verse 1:
E                                       A      E
You would think that keeping up would be easier
                                A             E
Living large and living straight bend yourself
                                  A           E
Summertime it always seems to come creeping up
            A             E
Keep in mind you wanted to


Chorus:
E                     F#m
You’re cold and you’re tired
                      E
You’re hurt and you’re sad
                F#m
For all that you give us
                E
For all that you had

 E
Will wear you down and wear you thin and where you gone
                                                     
And don’t you know that I’m grumpy when the time is right
 
And time is on my side



 E
Baby you could fix me up 
               
 A
I could do the same for you and maybe sometime soon

 E                                               
We can spend some time alone to talk about the things

We should talk about



 E
Tell me about the time when everything’s a mess

 A
Tell me about the time I haven’t heard it yet

 E
   About the time, tell me about the time, tell me about the 
                 
 A        
 E
Time, cos all you need is time

Things just aren’t well

Frightful of strangers
              
 E
Scared of yourself

  E                
  A                       
  E
You’re strung out and there’s hell to pay
                  
  A                   
  E
You’re holding out for some better day


Chorus:

  E

And your feet are inspired

   E
It’s not what you think it is
