Verse 1
sing:
[G]Uptown, [Em]goin' down, [G]old [C]life-line,
[Bm]Walkin' down [C]faster, [Am]walkin' with the [G]master of [D]time,
My lady woke [C]up, and [Am]she broke down,
She got [Dm]up, she let [Gm]go,
[Dm]Take me, Timer, shake me, Timer,
Timer, let it blow, let it [G]blow,
My darlin' [C][F]friends[F][C]
[G]Oh, I [C]belong to [Em]Timer, he [Dm]changed [G]my [C]face,
[Am]You're [C]fine, a fine one, [Em]Timer,
You got me [Dm]walkin' through the [G]gates of [C]space,
I keep [D]remembering [Dm]in-doors that I used to [Em]walk through,
Baby, I'm not tryin' to talk you [Dm]down,
But I could walk through [Em]them doors [F]onto a [D]pleasure [G]ground,
It was [Am]sweet and [Em]funny, a [Dm]pleasure [G]ground,
Didn't [Am]know about [Em]money, didn't [F]know about [Em]Timer,
[Dm]Did not [Am]know about Timer.[Bb]
[F]Holdin' to my cradle at the [Em]start, but [Dm]now my hand is open,
And [Em]now my hand is ready [Am]for my [F][G]heart,[G][F]
So [C]let the wind blow, [Am]Timer, let the [Am]wind [G]blow, [C]Timer
And if the [Am]song [C]goes [Em]minor, [Am]I won't [Gm]mind.
[Gm]And Timer know the Lady's gonna [Dm]love again,[G]
And [Am]Timer says the [G]Lady rambles nevermore,
If you love [Am]me, too, [G]and if you [Dm]love me true,
I'll spend my [F]life with [Em]you, [C]you [Dm]and [G]Timer.
You're a [C]jigsaw, [Em]Timer, you're a
[Ab]God is a jigsaw [Gm]Timer,
[C]You're a jigsaw, [Em]Timer, you're a
[Ab]God is a jigsaw [Gm]Timer
[Eb]Timer, souling with,
[Cm]Timer, souling with,
[Bb]Timer, souling with,
[F]Timer,
Let it [C]go
[C]Timer uh-huh,
[C]Timer, uh-huh,
[C]Timer, uh-huh.
