Tuning: E A D G B E
[INTRO]
B Sometimes, it's like I'm stumbling forward G#m
G#mHustled forward
Jostled from beF#hind by time
BSometimes, it's like I'm being dragged
Yet G#malways lagging
Trying to keep in F#time with time
[PRE CHORUS]
G But if I could Estop the clock for just one day
If F#I could G#mfreeze a moment for a moment
F#Rest before the measure's over
EHold the beat for just one day
If I could Gwind it back and start afresh
AJust a day to catch my breath
To Bmake mistakes and set them right
DeG#mlay the coming of the night G
[VERSE]
B If I had my time agD#ain
I would do it all the saG#mme
You'll say, but F#that's insane
E Wouldn't you want to make a couple of changes? (Bass notes - E B F# C#)
ReBgrets, I'd not even have a D#few
If I could do this thing that G#you
Say you can C#do.
E I've always dreamt of learning how to Bdance (Some days I go out without pants)
A It's so exciting (I slept with ninety)
F# A new beginning (Percent of women)
E Every morning (In Punxsutawney)
B To have the time to strive for moreC#m (Between eighF#teen and eighty-Gfour)
(And one F#mdude when I was Bmbored)
[CHORUS]
Bm If I Ghad my time agDain F#
Bm I'd take the Gpath less trodden
D Avoid the F#crap I trod in
GRead a lot of books (I've stolen eighteen million bucks)
And I would worry Dless about my noseA (And I guess I'll do it again)
And I would F#be a lot more Bmzen (When)
And I would Gpunch a lot of Dmen (I had)
If I Ahad my time agBmain
[VERSE]
B If I had my time agD#ain
I would do it all the saG#mme
You'll say, 'butF# that's ridiculous
E Surely you'd wanna make a couple of fixes? (Bass notes - E B F# C#)
AlBl those boxes left unD#checked
All those dreams you left neG#glected
You'd go back and put it C#right!'
E I've always fancied learning how to Bclimb (I once masturbated seven times)
I'd study C#mmath (in the bath)
And search for F#meaning (in one evening)
E And I'd run up hills (it wasn't fun but still)
B And learn to paint (a man my age)
C#mJust to F#know I Gcan (It's nice to know I can)
(It's Anice to know I Bmcan!)
[CHORUS]
Bm If I Ghad my time agDain F#
Bm I'd sample Gall the samples
D Look at things from F#different angles
G I would not do it all the Asame
If I had my time Bmagain
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Bm G D A
Em G Em G
D G A
[CHORUS]
Bm If I Ghad my time Dagain F#
Bm The things I'd Ghandle better
DI would send my F#unsent letters
[BRIDGE]
GI've started seven hundred fights, and if you knew the endless nights (If I had my time back)
That I have wasted getting Dwasted contemplating different ways to suicide (I would write and I would write)
And I have tried every Gfood and every drink (And I would add joy to other people's lives)
Gand every cheat and every choice a thousand times (and I would learn piano)
And I Ddaily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know Awhy
and I don't know.F#.. why
Bm And I would Dmake a lot of Gfriends
If I Dhad my time
[CHORUS]
C#m If I Ahad my time Eagain G#
C#m I'd open Aall the doors I've Enever looked beBhind before
And Aoh, the things I'd taste, the things I'dB try (I find the thing with these revolving rides)
A And the misery I could Bprevent (They're only fun 'cause you know they're gonna end)
F#m And I would G#mmake a lot of Afriends
If I Bhad my time aEgain (aF#mgain)
(But I've Ehad it, but I've Ahad my time aEgain!)
End on E
