As recorded by The Pretenders (From the 1984 Album LEARNING TO CRAWL) [Intro] D C D C D C D C [Verse 1]
         D5
Nobody's perfect

                   C5
Not even a perfect stranger

D5
Oh, but what a gal

                       C5
She was such a perfect stranger

               D5
And you're the best in your field

        C5
In your office

C5
With your girls, and desk and leather chair

             D5
Thought that time was on your side

    C5                N.C.
Not time the avenger
[Interlude] D5 C5 D5 C5 [Verse 2]
          D5
Nobody is permanent

C5
Everything is on loan here

D5
Even your wife and kids

      C5
Could be gone next year

         D5
And with what you have left

             C5
You'll be forever, under pressure to support her

      D5
And a lover who looks strangely

     C5               N.C.
Like time the avenger
[Chorus]
D5                        C5  D5  C5
Time, time hear the bells chime

C5
Over the harbor in the city

D5                       C5 D5  C5
Time, one more vodka and lime

C5
To help paralyze that little

                D5    
Tick, tick tick tick ...
[Interlude] C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 [Verse 3]
         D5
Nobody's perfect

                   C5
Not even a perfect gent

          D5
When your property took the A train

  C5
I wonder where your manners went

         D5
You were standing at the station

        C5
In your briefcase was your aftershave and underwear

        D5
Can you hear the whistle blow

            C5                N.C.
Sounds like time the avenger
[Chorus]
D5                        C5  D5  C5
Time, time hear the bells chime

C5
Over the harbor in the city

D5                       C5 D5  C5
Time, one more vodka and lime

C5
To help paralyze that little

                D5    
Tick, tick tick tick ...
