[Intro] F Bb C F [Verse One]
             F
When you're traveling from Nantucket

        C7
Through Chicago to St. Paul

            Dm
And you're standing at an airport

         Eb
And you look upon the wall

          Bb         Bdim
There's a clock for every city

       F                D
And a different time for all

      Gm          C           F
From Asia through Malaysia to Peru
[Verse Two]
        F
Did you ever wonder why that

          C
When it's ten o'clock in Maine

         Dm
At precisely the same moment

       Eb
It is 3 AM in Spain?

           Bb               Bdim
When it's breakfast time in Rome

               F             D
They're having lunch in the Ukraine

         Gm           C         F
And it's supper up in upper Kathmandu
[Bridge One]
        Cm                  Eb
If the Earth were spinning faster

       Bb
As the sun is going past her

        Cm7           Eb         Bb
Then a day would only be an hour long

     Ebm               Gb
And school, when they begin it

       Db
Would only last a minute

        G                    C
Before everybody has to run along
[Verse Three]
       F
If the Earth were the planet

          C
That was closest to the sun

  Dm
A year would be much shorter

          Eb
And you'd have a lot of fun

              Bb               Bdim
Cause by the time you were in first grade

         F            D
You'd be over twenty-one

          Gm               C                F
And you'd live to be nine hundred-three or four
[Bridge Two]
        Bb         C
Time is relative, dependent

        F                 Dm
You can save it, you can spend it

       Gm                C
Doing things you like to do

            F
Or learning how

          Bb                C
You can't see it, you can't taste it

         F            Dm
But you certainly can waste it

          G                                 C7
Which is really what we're doing here right now!
[Verse Four]
     F
The international date line's

   C
An imaginary cleft

   Dm
Today is on the right side

     Eb
And tomorrow's on the left

             Bb               Bdim
So when you cross it, do you then arrive

    F               D
The day before you left?

        Gm                  C                 F
That's how it'd work, it's quite berserk, you see
[Bridge Three]
       Cm               Eb
So if you were born in China

          Bb
While I'm born in Carolina

             Cm          Eb               Bb
Well, then, you're a day ahead of me, you see

       Ebm             Gb
So the way I've got it reckoned,

         Db
If we're born in the same second

          G                             C
Then why should you be a day older than me?
[Verse Five]
       Bb           C
But it really is no miracle

     Am               Dm
The difference in our birth

  Gm                  C
Because the world is spherical

       F              F7
That's why around the Earth...

               Bb                  C
There's always different times for Moscow

        Am             Dm
London, Boston and Ft. Worth

     Bb                  C           F7
And that's the way it's always gonna be
[Outro]
    Bb                   C
So remember, when you're traveling

         Am           Dm
From Nantucket to St. Paul

          Gm                C
And that airport as you're staring

          F              F7
At those clocks upon the wall

            Bb              C
You should think about this song, my friend

     Am           Dm
And then you will recall...

             Gm    C
That it was mildly amusing

         F       Dm
But then totally confusing

       Gm              C              F
And we bet you wish we hadn't sung at all!
