[Intro]
D/F# Cadd9 x2
[Verse 1]
D/F#
Changin' my flight for a week now
D/F#
Not a chance of gettin' off the ground
Cadd9
And I mighta lost some o' my marbles
Cadd9
So I'm checkin' with the lost and found
D/F#
I'm only tryin'a' stay ahead of danger
D/F#
And the tickin' of the thin red hand
Cadd9
But in a half a second I got older
Cadd9
It's gettin' harder now to understand
[Chorus]
D/F# E7
Whoa whoa time keep runnin'
G
Gettin' my stopwatch wound
D/F# E7
Whoa whoa moon or sunnin'
G
Day and night'll both be
G
Day and night'll both be
G D/F# Cadd9 D/F# Cadd9
Keepin' me above the ground
[Verse 2]
D/F#
Been wakin' up with my nose in the eggs now
D/F#
And I suppose that I could use a shower
Cadd9
But I'll never turn the other cheek now
Cadd9
I guess the 'tude is gettin' dark and sour
D/F#
I gotta man up to what I been thinkin'
D/F#
Not a crime to wanna kick it alone
Cadd9
But I have come to know what is a real crime
Cadd9
To mortify what you don't own
[Chorus]
D/F# E7
Whoa whoa time keep runnin'
G
Gettin' my stopwatch wound
D/F# E7
Whoa whoa moon or sunnin'
