G# E7sus4 C# E7sus4
Ooh, oooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse]
G#
I can draw a straight line
E7sus4
Through my mind
C#
Right back to the good times
G#7sus4 E E7sus4
Back when all the stars were aligned
C# E7sus4
Before all the paperwork got signed

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

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

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

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