       Times Are A Staying 







intro  ch]D
 
 
D
Everybody wants to be
 
The one who gets to be
B
The one who says they finally set you straight
E
But I set you first
 
And I set you worst
 
And you said
A
You were just
Em         D
On your way out
 
 
 
D
Well everybody bow your head
 
Cause everyone else is dead
        B
And that usually sends the mood south
    Em
And naysayers all run
 
Your work here has been done
                                           A
And I see they finally got their hands on you
 
 
 
     G
Well everybody's sayin'
              Em
These times are a stayin'
         A
Exactly where they've been
D
Nobody's walkin'
 G
Everybody's comin' in
D
I don't know where I'm going
        A                        D
I think that it's time to come in
 
 
 
D
Some dreams lie in bed
 
And some dreams lie ahead
        Bm
And some dreams just lie to get their way
   Em
The best parts just got worse
 
The real parts got rehearsed
                 A        E   Em
And you said you were just on your way out
 
 
 
D
And some men just have plans
 
And some men just have hands
      Bm
And some men just have a way with words
  B                Em
They smile through their gold teeth
 
But the cancer lay beneath
                                          A
And I see they finally got their hands on you
 
 
 
     G
Well everybody's sayin'
              Em
These times are a stayin'
         A
Exactly where they've been
D
Nobody's walkin'
 G
Everybody's comin' in
D
I don't know where I'm going
        A                        D
I think that it's time to come in
 
 
A
Everybody's sayin' it's time to come in
        D
But I've been here before
 
staying in
 
G                       A
Don't wanna get a late start
 
And I make this up
 
And I fill my own cup
        D
And I lost my eyes
 
And I can't see much
G                                A
Found myself stumblin' in the dark
 
And it comes to me
 
Almost every night
      D
And it kisses my lips
 
And it tastes just right
        G
And I ask it to stay
            D
But it just goes
A
Away
 
 
 
     G
Well everybody's sayin'
              Em
These times are a stayin'
         A
Exactly where they've been
D
Nobody's walkin'
 G
Everybody's comin' in
D
I don't know where I'm going
        A                        D
I think that it's time to come in
 
Gm
The love from your lovers
     D
Your dreams just may die son
      A
Well everybody talkin'
 
Cause everybody knows
 
Everybody's singin'
       E
That's the way it goes
        A
Yeah I think
           E
Yeah I know
A
Yeah son
 
Yeah It's time
                 D
It's time to come in
