D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
D#
I can draw a straight line
E7sus4
Through my mind
G#
Right back to the good times
D#7sus4 E E7sus4
Back when all the stars were aligned
G# E7sus4
Before all the paperwork got signed
[Link]
D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
D#
Oh it's like a straight shot
E7sus4 G#
Through the backyards and the vacant lots
D#7sus4 E
Through the varied chambers of my heart
E7sus4 G# E7sus4
To the part of town that even you seem to have forgot
[Link]
D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Aah, aaah, aah, aah
[Verse]
D#
And now it's just a short ride
E7sus4 G#
Over to the Eastside
D#7sus4 E E7sus4
Is where my true love still resides
G# E7sus4
Where all of my dreams go to die
[Chorus]
D#sus4
And my life is just around the bend
Eadd11
And these broken hearts can mend
D# E7sus4
It just takes time, time, time
G# E7sus4
It takes time, time, time

D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
{Verse]
D#
Ours was the tale that never would end
E7sus4 G#
Doors were gonna open and rules were gonna bend
D#7sus4 E E7sus4
Now it doesn't matter who they send
G# D#7sus4 E
Can't hold a candle to you my fairweather best friend
[Link]
E7sus4 G# E7sus4
[Verse]
D#
Now I'm stuck in the slow lane
E7sus4 G#
On the useless side of my brain
D#7sus4 E
The one that drives a thinking man insane
E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Wishing his circumstances never have to change
[Bridge]
D#sus4
And my life is just around the bend
Eadd11
And these broken hearts can mend
D# E7sus4
It just takes time, time, time
G# E7sus4
It takes time, time, time

D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
D#
Now I lap single file
E7sus4 G#
Walker center mental mile
D#7sus4 E
Over blue mosaic tiles
E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Our souls did comingle for a little while
[Chorus]
D#sus4
And my life is just around the bend
Eadd11
And these broken hearts can mend
D# E7sus4
It just takes time, time, time
G# E7sus4
It takes time, time, time

D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
D# E7sus4 G# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
D#
That's why I draw a straight line
E7sus4
Through my mind
G#
Right back to the good times
D#7sus4 E E7sus4
Back when all the stars were aligned
G# E7sus4
Before all the paperwork got signed
D#
And I make that quick line
E7sus4 G#
Over to the Eastside
D#7sus4 E E7sus4
Where my true love still resides
G# E7sus4
Where all of my dreams go to die
[Fadeout]
