[Verse]
G
You don't have to die if you don't wanna die
C
You can take it all back in the nick of time
D C
Maybe even be a good friend of mine
G
Baby I cried
G
And we won't have to cry if we don't wanna cry
C
Maybe I got something left in this heart of mine
D C
Awash in the sand on the beach of time
G
Baby I I I
[Chorus]
C
You know, you know that time
Can take you for a ride
G
Can take you by surprise
Maybe you'll roll snake eyes
C
Baby, tell me why
You gotta play your luck?
D
Two aces call your bluff
C
I love you very much
G
And all that other stuff
[Verse]
G
Thawing out my heart like meat
C
I see your track marks poking through your hoodiе sleeve
D C
Tic-tac-toe game to thе destiny
G
I grieve
G
Marching towards the East River Park
C
You told me your big secret on the FDR
D C
I couldn't hear you over choppers and the buzzing cars
G
So far
[Chorus]
C
You know, you know that time
Can take you for a spin
G
Can really do you in
Can leave you with the bends
C
Baby, try to live again
And play another hand
D
Maybe we'll start a band
C
I wanna understand
G
Baby, help me understand
[Outro]
G
'Cause you don't have to die if you don't wanna die
C
Maybe I got something left that is worth a try
D
But I'm not gonna be your alibi
G
This time
