Only Time Will Tell by Jimmy Buffett


            Only Time Will Tell 


Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:2nd fret

[Intro]
Bm  A  G  A x4
 
[Verse]
Bm              A          G        A
   Scales and clocks just can't be trusted
Bm           A         G              A
   Keys and locks are destined to be busted
Bm       A               G                A
   Metaphors were never made for keeping score
         Bm              A        G        A
And I'm feeling for the sound of time
 
Bm  A  G  A x2
 
[Verse]
Bm           A          G         A
   Is it the answer or just a suggestion
Bm               A             G           A
Is love what we truly want or merely a protection
Bm                     A       G              A
Is this music made to last or crumble like a shell
Bm               A               G               A
Is there heaven here on earth or is this really hell?
 
[Chorus]
           Bm       A          G             A
Only time will tell   if I am right or I am wrong
           Bm       A            G                  A
Only time will tell, is there a message in this song?
         G         A              A           Bm   A
Will it ever make sense, will it ever ring a bell?
  G    A        Bm  A  G  A  Bm  A  G  A
Only time will tell.
 
[Verse]
        Bm             A          G                  A
Are we destined to be ruled by a bunch of old white men
        Bm                A                 G             A
Who compare the world to football and are programmed to defend
     Bm            A             G             A
I'd like to try a princess or a non-terrestrial
        Bm                A                G             A
Who is neither boast nor bashful Is there really such a girl
 
[Chorus]
           Bm       A          G             A
Only time will tell   if I am right or I am wrong
           Bm       A            G                  A
Only time will tell, is there a message in this song?
         G         A              A           Bm   A
Will it ever make sense, will it ever ring a bell?
  G    A        D    E   G
Only time will tell.

[Verse]
Bm              A              G               A
I woke up this morning feeling absolutely grand
    Bm             A                 G            A
For nearly half a century I've been singing in a band
    Bm                 A              G           A
I'd like to think Ill make it to two thousand and one
         Bm              A              G               A
Will the party be at my house?  God, I wonder who will come...
 
[Chorus]
           Bm       A          G             A
Only time will tell   if I am right or I am wrong
           Bm       A            G                  A
Only time will tell, is there a message in this song?
         G         A              A           Bm   A
Will it ever make sense, will it ever ring a bell?
  G    A        Bm  A          G              A
Only time will tell   if I am right or I am wrong
           Bm       A            G                  A
Only time will tell, is there a message in this song?
         G         A              A         Bm   A
Will it ever make sense, on this crazy carousel?
  G   A         D    E    G
Only time will tell
 
[Outro]
D  E  G x4
 
D  E  A  N.C.
