Tuning: E A D G B E

(This is from a piano score I play in "C Major"
The chords are the same on the guitar as on the piano.
For me, the chord inversions on the piano are smoother
Than on the guitar, but thats just me. Have Fun!)

[Verse 1]
FIt's time for me to be on E7my way I Am7know
I've got Dmbusiness to conduct
And I've got F/Aplaces to Gsus4go
G/FBut I can't Fhelp looking at her E7sleeping in-Am7stead.
Another Dm7morning I'll have trouble climbing F/Aout of this Gbed,
F/GBecause C- she's such Dma C/Etemp-Fta- GtionE C
It's driv-Dming C/Eme Fcra-Gzy F C
And it's my Dmfas-C/Eci - Fna-Gtion
That's Am7making me act this wayD G/D D
And Am7I know what all my DfriendsG/D Fsay
They're a-C/Gfraid that I'm losing my Gtouch
But she's such a temp-G/Cta - Ction.

[Verse 2]
FI look so tired cause I E7don't get much Am7sleep
And I've got Dmtoo many commitments that are F/Atoo hard to Gsus4keep G
G/FAnd I try Fto be rational
And I E7try to be Am7wise
But it Dm7all gets blown to pieces
When I F/Alook in her Geyes
F/GBecause C- She's such Dma C/Etemp-Fta-GtionF/G C
And no-Dmthing C/Ecan Fsave Gme F/G C
But I might Dmfind C/Esal-Fva-Gtion
If Am7I can tear myself awayD G/D ('DCause)
Am7I know what all of my DfriendsG/D Fsay
There's a C/Gdanger in wanting too Gmuch
But she's such a temp-G/Cta - Ction

[Verse 3]
FI should be leaving
But I E7can't cut Am7loose
I have my Dm7reasons for resistance
But I F/Ahave no ex-Gsus4cuse
GAnd I G/Flose my com-Fposure
I could E7use some re-Am7straint
I never Dmclaimed to be a hero
And I F/Anever said GI was a Csaint
She's such Dma C/Etemp-Fta-GtionF/G C
It's driv-Dming C/Eme Fcra-Gzy F/G C
And it's my Dmfasc-C/Ei - Fna-Gtion
That's mak-Aming me act this DwayG/D
And AmI can just hear all my DfriendsG/D Fsay
"Better C/Gwatch out, you're losing your Gtouch"
But she's such a temp-G/Cta - Ction G/C C
