Standard (EADGBE)
I know its not your fault, but Im a locked door
Anytime Im a mess by someone before
And I wish that I, I could find a key
To unlock all the things that you want us to be
Let me open up and start again,
But theres a safe around my heart
I dont know how to let you in,
And thats what keeps us apart
And thats why I need time.
I said I need you
I need you, you understand, you, you, you
I need you, you understand, you, you, you
(SAME CHORDS)
Call up the locksmith,
Tell him we need him quick
Weve got a million keys,?
None of them seem to fit
While your on the phone,
call up the clocksmith,
Cuz I could use some time,
Even the slightest bit
Let me open up and start again,
And break this safe around my heart
I dont know how to let you in,
And thats what keeps us apart
And thats why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand, you, you, you
I need you to understand
Im thinking nows the time,
Maybe its time to go, if I gave you my heart, be gentle,
Im tired of laying low, lets give the world a show
And when you know, you know,
And when you know, you know, you know
And when you know, you know, you know, you know
(SAME CHORDS)
And thats why I need time
I said I need you,
I need you to understand, you, you, you (x2)
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you to understand
I need you, I need you, I need you, you, you
