G#m B/A# B
Put your sweet fingers
G#m B/A# B
G# little closer to the keyboard
G#m B/A# B
It's hard to read between your lines
E B
We were the clock hands at eindigt
G#m B/A# B
Now you're four whole hours behind
G#m B/A# B
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard

I can't quite see the whites of your eyes
E B

G#m B/A# B

E B F#
I don't bring you spices from the East
E B F#
I don't bring you the world's you crave
G#m B/A# B

B E F# E

G#m B/A# B
Put your sweet fingers a little closer to the keyboard
G#m B/A# B
We pass light bits in the night

E
You keep pouring when I say when
G#m F#
Come home when your
E
Work there is done
F# E
Just like Mr Benn
G#m
Put your sweet fingers
B/A# B
G# little closer to the keyboard
G#m B/A# B
It's hard to read between your lines
E B
We were the clock hands at eindigt

Now you're four whole hours behind
