                   Am
I s’pose I must be stuck with you again.

This joke    is wearing thin
  Am6               D                 G [Fill 1]
I know it’s time, I know it’s time to go

            F                 Em               E
Just so you know, this secret part of me never shows
                  Am
And when you run around like you don’t care,
    Fmaj7/A
I'm suddenly aware
  Am6               D
I know it’s time, I know it’s time and...

It’s suddenly strange, I can hardly complain
    C                    D
I'm down the stairs, I'm out the door and...
     G                   F
It’s suddenly colder, it bowled me right over
    C             D                 G
I'm down again. I suppose it’s over now.

(G)          F                 Em                  E
Don’t ask me how but it didn’t take much to figure out.
                        Am
And you’ll know I’ll go acting really tough
    Fmaj7/A
And give    you back your stuff

I know it’s time, I know it’s time and...
