TIME from Aladdin Sane
INTRO: Em Em7 F C
Em F
Time he's waiting in the wings he speaks of senseless things
C
His script is you and me boys
Em F
Time he flexes like a whore falls wanking to the floor
C
His trick is you and me, boy
Em Dm C C9 F
Time in Quaaludes and red wine demanding Billy Dolls
D C
And other friends of mine take your time
C/B Am G F
The sniper in the brain regurgitating drain
D/F# G C C/B
Incestuous and vain and many other last names
Am G F D/F# G
I look at my watch it says 9:25 and I think Oh God I'm still alive
C C/B Am
We should be on by now
G F D/F#
We should be on by now
G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Em
You are not a victim you just scream with boredom
F C
You are not evicting time
SOLO: Em F C
Em Dm C C9 F
Chimes Goddamn you're looking old you'll freeze and catch a cold
D C
'Cause you've left your coat behind take your time
C/B Am G F
Breaking up is hard but keeping dark is hateful
D/F# G C
I had so many dreams I had so many breakthroughs
C/B Am G F
But you my love were kind but love has left you dreamless
D/F# G C
The door to dreams was closed your park was real dreamless
C/B Am G F
Perhaps you're smiling now smiling through this darkness
D/F# G C
But all I had to give was guilt for dreaming
C/B Am G F D/F# G C
We should be on by now We should be on by now
C/B Am G F D/F# G C
We should be on by now We should be on by now
C/B Am G F D/F#
We should be on by now
G
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Yeah, time!

1/3/2006 - 11:03:27 For a more authentic sound, use straight E chord instead of the C9s.

1/1/2006 - 1:55:57 Thanks for posting this... this is my favorite Bowie song and I love you.

21/6/2005 - 20:46:43Good, but I swear that the Gs at "regurgitating", "9:25", "should be on..", and every other part one comes after Am should be replaced with Am/G (302210).
And I think DJB is right, too.

26/9/2004 - 12:09:29 Very good, but I think you need to use Dbdim7 [xx2323] instead of Em when you get to "Time in Qaaludes..." and again at "Chimes, goddam..."
