[Intro]
Am C G F
[Verse 1]
Am C
I've got time to think about the beauty of a thousand variations
G
Of the beating of a wing
F Am
Of a hummingbird suspended in the aspic of a world
C
Moving slower than molasses
G
As i'm off to catch the girl
F
Who is falling off the bridge
[Chorus]
F
And I'm there before she knows it
G
I'll be gone before she sees me
Am
Got my hand around her waist
C
As I pull her back to safety
F
By the time she knows what happens
G
There will be someone else who needs me
Am C
Because time keeps dragging on
F E Am C
And on, And on, And on
G F
Time keeps dragging on
[Verse 2]
Am C
I've got time to think about my past as I dodge
G
Between the bullets how my life was so exciting
F Am
Before I got this way and how long ago it was now
C G
I never can explain by the clock that's on the Tower
F
Or the one that's in my brain
[Chorus]
F
And I'm there before you know it
G
I'll be gone before you see me
Am
And I'd like to get to know you
C
But you're talking much too slowly
F
And I know you'd really like me
G
But I never stick around
Am C
Because time keeps dragging on
F E
And on, And on
[Bridge]
Am C
And you say the time goes rushing by
G F
But it seems so slow to me
Am C
And you see a blur around you fly
G
But it takes too long
F Am C G F
It seems so slow to me
[Verse 3]
Am
I should have never gone into my lab to
C G
Experiment that night before lightning flashed around me
F
And time changed speed
Am C
Now I have to try to be so patient and wait for calamity to strike
G
Because when things change in an instant
F
It's almost fast enough for me
[Chorus]
F
And I'll be there before you know it
G
I'll be gone before you see me
Am
And do you think you can imagine
C
Anything so lonely
F
And I know you'd really like me
G
But I never stick around
Am C
Because time keeps dragging on
F E
And on, And on
[Bridge](x2)
Am C
And you say the time goes rushing by
G F
But it seems so slow to me
Am C
And you complain I'm gone before you blink your eye
G
But it takes too long
F
It seems so slow
Am C
And you say the time goes rushing by
G F
But it seems so slow to me
Am C
And I want to be there when you laugh or cry
G
But it takes too long
F Am C G F
It seems so slow to me
Am C G F
Time keeps dragging on
