C
I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say yesterdays a day away.

                                      F     C
Nothing I can do to make it stay like that. Ain't that a fact.

C
I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say
I just can't handle things this way.
                                         F      C
I know it's late, but I'd like to stay a while, see you smile.

F                                         C
Will you meet me in the morning, with the sun fresh on the dew?

F                                       C
Will you meet me in the afternoon, made just for me and you?

F                                         C
Will you meet me in the evening, when the nighttime starts to crawl?

G                             Am
Will you meet me in the hall? Will you meet me on the wall?

G
Will you meet me at all?
[Verse 2]
C
One more time, one more time.
Shaking up and down my spine.
                              F    C
Jump a rope or skip a line or two. What can I do?

C
One more time, one more time. Color flashing neon signs.

                           F            C [bass slide: A:|8/3|]
Advertising a friend of my distraction, latest attraction.
[Chorus]
F                             C
Oh my body has been punished. Lord, I think I've had enough.

F                            C
Oh my body has been punished with too much and not enough.

F                            C
Oh my body has been punished and my mind can no longer bluff.

G                     Am
My mind is so unkind, my mind is so unkind.

G
It keeps me crying all the time.

C
I know it's true, but I'm sorry to say yesterday's a day away.
