Standard (EADGBE)

i'm looking at my watch

 and all the time that's been stolen

when i was carrying you

 it seems i'm tripped and i've fallen

don't want no one to ache

 oh to be drunk and forgetful

to get out of this unscathed

 oh to be free and inhuman

some may say i love to play

 when the chance is there to take

i'm mopping up the floor

the messy recipes of romance

i'm packing up the pots

too many cooks in the kitchen

some may say i love to let

a good thing go to waste

i let it go to waste (repeat)

i'm lookin at my watch

and all the time that's been stolen

when i was carrying you

it seems i've slipped and i've fallen
