Jimmy Buffett – Only Time Will Tell (Guitar)

Bm              A          G        A
   Scales and clocks just can't be trusted

Bm           A         G              A
   Keys and locks are destined to be busted

Bm       A               G                A
   Metaphors were never made for keeping score

         Bm              A        G        A
And I'm feeling for the sound of time

Bm           A          G         A
   Is it the answer or just a suggestion

Bm               A             G           A
Is love what we truly want or merely a protection

Bm                     A       G              A
Is this music made to last or crumble like a shell

Bm               A               G               A
Is there heaven here on earth or is this really hell?

           Bm       A          G             A
Only time will tell   if I am right or I am wrong

           Bm       A            G                  A
Only time will tell, is there a message in this song?

         G         A              A           Bm   A
Will it ever make sense, will it ever ring a bell?

  G    A        Bm  A  G  A  Bm  A  G  A
Only time will tell.

        Bm             A          G                  A
Are we destined to be ruled by a bunch of old white men

        Bm                A                 G             A
Who compare the world to football and are programmed to defend

     Bm            A             G             A
I'd like to try a princess or a non-terrestrial

        Bm                A                G             A
Who is neither boast nor bashful Is there really such a girl

           Bm       A          G             A
Only time will tell   if I am right or I am wrong

           Bm       A            G                  A

         G         A              A           Bm   A

Only time will tell.

Bm              A              G               A
I woke up this morning feeling absolutely grand

    Bm             A                 G            A
For nearly half a century I've been singing in a band

    Bm                 A              G           A
I'd like to think Ill make it to two thousand and one

         Bm              A              G               A
Will the party be at my house?  God, I wonder who will come...

           Bm       A          G             A
Only time will tell   if I am right or I am wrong
