You waved goodbye on the other side
G A D G A
And I said "Hello, why don't you ever leave me?"
D
But she crossed the room and she tried to hide
G A D G A
I said "I told you once. Why don't you believe me?"
D
And the pink light shined and knocked me blind
G A D G A
I said "Would you mind if I tried to make this easy?"
D
And she clenched her eyes and she rolled her fists
G A D G A
And she wondered out loud what it takes to please me
G
I was halfway to the door
A D
And in the street, the band was playing just for me

Well I once knew her like I knew me
G A D G A
Nobody could see how she could own me
D G
In the room I was petrified and I tried
A D G A
My best to hide how she could use me
D
In neon signs a hundred feet high
G A D G A
I no doubt live forever, she would want me
D G
And I was left in no such doubt and in
A D G A
That one sweet moment, she would haunt me
G
And in my dreams and in my nightmares
A D
The band was there, playing just for me

D
I would die for you she cried
G A D G A
I tried not to decide how I would leave her
D
There was nothing left to tell myself
G A D G A
I wonder if I could believe her
D
No time to hide, no time to lie
G A
No time to watch the world pass me by
G A
No time to grin, no time to choose
G A
No time to chase the ghosts from my shoes
G A
No time to win, no time to bawl
G A
No time to creep and no time to crawl
G A
No time for sleep, no time for sin
G A
No time to lose, and nothing to win
G A
No time for heroics, no time to feed
G A
Nothing to confess, hard to concede
G A
No time for sin, no time for love
G A
Sex was a curse sent from above
G A
No time to cry, no time to explain
G A
Nothing to scream and no one to blame
G A
No time for silence, no time at all
G A
No time to fail, and nowhere to fall
G A
No time to hide, no time to lie
G A
No time to watch the world pass me by
G A
No time to grin, no time to choose
G A
No time to chase the ghosts from my shoes
G A
No time to sleep, no time for sin
G A
No time to lose and no time to win
