Verse 1
G / D / E-
Does anybody know what time it is?
Does anybody here have a watch on?
Does anybody have a car around because I want to go home.
We've been talking about resolution.
A new ending to this fight we've had before.
And we keep rehashing the same old shit, and you know what?
I'm not listening anymore.
CHORUS
C / G
And all I really want to do is lock you on my shelf.
I'd tie you in pink and pretty bows and keep you all to myself.
Frozen and smiling, the key just out of reach. But you know,
sooner or later this is all coming down on me.
Verse 2
G / D / E-
So, does anybody else have this premonition or am I the only one out
of touch?
I've been sleeping with my head off the bed, my feet on the floor and
now I think it's getting too much.
So, I've gotta know, are we running in circles or are we running somewhere?
It's time I finally choose.
Sometimes I take a chance and bet it all, double or nothing, thinking,
"It can't hurt to try, it won't hurt to lose."
CHORUS
C / G
And, all I really seem to feel are longer and longer days.
There's so much distance between us but no empty space.
My breathing's getting shallow and it's high time that I see that
sooner or later this is all coming down on me.
BRIDGE
D / C / G
Verse 3
G / D / E-
So, does anybody else but me take her so seriously?
And can anybody else play a martyr so well?
Damn, I'm caught up in a pushers game and I'm walking a tight line as
far as I can tell.
So, call it a night, call it a fight, again, babe.
We're a re-run of my worst mistakes.
And your melodrama is frustrating but I'm in love with you.
And I guess this is what it takes.
Yeah, I guess this is what it takes.
Yeah, I guess this is what it takes.
CHORUS
C / G
And, all I really seem to feel are longer and longer days.
There's so much distance between us but no empty space.
My breathing's getting shallow and it's high time that I see that
sooner or later this is all coming down on me.
