Intro:Am F C GAm F C Em7 Am F
Youʼre the author of my head
C G
And I couldnʼt light up the room
Am F
See, itʼs awkward if Iʼd said that
C Em7
I wouldnʼt sit back and lose
Chorus: Am F C G
If I gotta be there for me.
(Death, be on time for me)
Am F C Em7
ʼCause Iʼm kind feeling there, fully.
(Let me unwind, fully)
Am F
Youʼre out on the border, where time left
C G
And I shouldnʼt care like I do
Am F
But Iʼll be going on and on for forty years
C Em7
Saying, «Hell, what I wouldnʼt do
F G
Just to be around, feel better now»
C Am F
My god, I canʼt stop it, so let it ring
G Am
I bet it wonʼt mean a thing.
Em7 F
You said it donʼt mean a thing
Instrumental:Am F C GAm F C Em7 Am F
Spent every autumn getting taller
C G
All of my favourites have moved
Am F
Right to the corners of their boredom.
C Em7
I couldnʼt sit there with you
Chorus: Am F C G
If I gotta be there for me.
(Life, be on time for me)
Am F
ʼCause Iʼve been going on and on for all these years
C Em7
Hell, what I wouldnʼt do
F G
Just to make a sound, make it real loud
C Am F
My god, I canʼt stop it, I let it win
G Am
I bet it wonʼt mean a thing.
Em7 F G
You said it donʼt mean a thing.
