A Bm "Biding My Time" getting stuck in my mind is a boat to row. (?) A Bm Two hours later back in my neighbourhood, where everything just stops. A Bm It still looks the same, they remember my name stepped it in for a cup full. A Bm There's a big city man, I used to rumble with him back in high school. D C#m Bm The slow cruel hands of time D C#m Bm7 Turn you into molten lava, oh my A Bm There's a place on the right, you can stop for a while, look out for a policeman A Bm There's no street lamps only free buildings, and one of them's vacant A Bm Is taking all day, the pack's feeling heavy and soon the night. Backwards down the mountain the axel is grinding, pull into the wrong drive. D C#m Bm The sky is in the yard, D C#m Bm7 Stringing cotton candy in the fall. F#m7 E C#m D Slow card the hard to fall F#m7 E C#m D So long times I don't want it at all Bm E I've done this so long C#m D Something I ought to know Bm7 A So long. > (A) Bm7 A Bm7 [solo] A Bm Finally up, all the pieces disrrupted and the birds fly. A Bm Trapped for a moment, the sheriff's department got the wrong guy. D C#m Bm The town is revealed the lone, D C#m Bm7 visible winds... through the fog. D C#m Bm7 This slow cruel hands of time, D C#m Bm7 turning you back into a child. > F#m E C#m D Bm7 Bm7 A ~~ [end]
