  You would think that keeping up would be easier 
E                                  A              E 
  Living large and living straight, bend yourself 
E                                   A          E 
  Summertime it always seems to come creeping up

  Keep in mind I wanted to

Well’ll wear you down and wear you thin and where you gone 
 
And don’t you know that I’m grumpy when the time is right 
 
And time is on my side

Baby you could fix me up  
               A

Tell me about the time, I haven’t heard it yet

Cause all you need is time

Scared of yourself

Release it all there
