Dm7/G 3x0211 [Intro] Dm7 C/E Fmaj7 G Am7 Dm7 Dm7/G Dm7 C/E Fmaj7 G Am7 Dm7 Dm7/G C [Verse 1]
Dm7                      C/E
   A friend of mine she cries at night, and she

F                     C/G
calls me on the phone.

Dm7                 C/E
   Sees babies everywhere she goes and she

F                    C/G
wants one of her own.

Dm7                   C/E
   She's waited long enough she says

    F                    C/G
And still he can't decide.

Dm7                       C/E               Eaug/D    E/D   Am
   Pretty soon she'll have to choose and it tears her up inside.

      Dm7                        Dm7/G     C
She's scared... scared she'll run out of time.
[Verse 2]
Dm7                        C/E
   I see my folks, they're getting old and

F                          C/G
I watch their bodies change.

Dm7                    C/E
   I know they see the same in me,

       F                  C/G
and it makes us both feel strange.

Dm7                  C/E
   No matter how you tell yourself,

     F              C/G
it's what we all go through.

Dm7                       C/E                      Eaug/D   E/D      Am
   Those lines are pretty hard to take when they're staring back at you.

Dm7                          C
    Scared you'll run out of time.
[Bridge]
Bb                      F
   When did the choices get so hard?

C/G                     Dm7
   With so much more at stake.

Dm7                    C/E                Eaug/D  E/D     Am    Dm7
   Life gets mighty precious when there's less of it to waste.

Dm7                     Dm7/G    C
Hummmm... scared to run out of time.
[Verse 3]
Dm7                        C/E
   Just when I thought I'd had enough

    F                 C/G
And all my tears were shed.

Dm7                  C/E
   No promise left unbroken,

              Dm7             C/E
There were no painful words unsaid.

 Dm7               C/E
You came along and showed me

        F               C/G
I could leave it all behind.

Dm7                 C/E                  Eaug/D  E/D    Am
   You opened up my heart again and then much to my surprise.

        Dm7               Dm7/G    Dm7               Dm7/G
I found love, love in the nick of time.  (Love in the nick)

        Dm7                       Dm7/G   Dm7                 Dm7/G
I found love darlin', love in the nick of time.  (Love in the nick)

        Dm7                    Dm7/G    C
I found love baby, love in the nick of time
