Standard (EADGBE)

I know its not your fault, but I’m a locked door

Anytime I’m 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 there’s a safe around my heart

I don’t know how to let you in,

And that’s what keeps us apart

And that’s 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

We’ve 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 don’t know how to let you in,

And that’s what keeps us apart

And that’s why I need time

I said I need you

I need you to understand, you, you, you

I need you to understand

I’m thinking now’s the time,

 Maybe its time to go, if I gave you my heart, be gentle,

I’m 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 that’s 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
