[Intro]
Gm7 G
[Verse 1]
G Bm
Desperation sits just like a friend upon the floor
Am G
My pictures are all torn around my feet
G Bm
Mr. Madness points his eyes, a finger from his chair
Am G
And an angry crowd is gathering in the street
[Chorus]
Am7 G
To take my time away
Am7 G
To take my time away
[Verse 2]
G Bm
If I'm the man they say I am, then why am I still here?
Am G
My portrait seems to make me look quite sane
G Bm
There's no hair inside my hems and no scars upon my face
Am G
But the crowd is knocking at the door again
[Chorus]
Am7 G
To take my time away
Am7 G
To take my time away
[Verse 3]
G Bm
And the music is so loud that I have lost all sense of time
Am G
A phone rings but no one makes a sound
G Bm
The storm's a'falling on the roof and smashing all the tiles
Am G
And the banners are all waltzing 'round and 'round
[Chorus]
Am7 G
To take my time away
Am7 G
To take my time away
[Verse 4]
G Bm
In all of my life you know I've done no man no wrong
Am G
And yet to some that is the only mortal sin
G Bm
And so I stand accused of the crime of being poor
Am G
While my thoughts are all confused by the din
[Chorus]
Am7 G
The din that takes my time away
Am7 G
It takes my time away
[Verse 5]
G Bm
I light a cigarette just to try to slow my thoughts
Am G
My throat is awful dry but I can't drink
G Bm
There's a clamoring within now, and a clamoring without
Am G
So much going on I just can't think
[Chorus]
Am7 G
To take my time away
Am7 G
To take my time away
[Verse 6]
G Bm
And meanwhile in the woods what are they doing to the trees
Am G
Why must they make a spark and let them burn
G Bm
It takes such a long long time for trees like that to grow
Am G
Some people just never ever learn
[Chorus]
Am7 G
And yet they take my time away
Am7 G
They take my time away
[Verse 7]
G Bm
There will be nothing left if this madness runs its course
Am G
Except the gleaming buildings to the sky
G Bm
With solitude unknown and every friendly word
Am G
With the sound of feet as the old world shuffles by
[Chorus]
Am7 G
Taking my time away
Am7 G
Taking my time away
[Verse 8]
G Bm
No concessions to my past no there's none that I can make
Am G
If I had my time I'd do it all again
G Bm
I'd just make a few adjustments to the way I treated you
Am G
And let myself be washed by the rain
[Chorus]
Am7 G
The rain that takes my time away
Am7 G
The rain that takes my time away
[Verse 9]
G Bm
And desperation sits just like an old friend on the floor
Am G
My pictures are all torn around my feet
G Bm
Mr. Madness points his eyes, a finger from his chair
Am G
An angry crowd is gathering in the street
[Chorus]
Am7 G
To take my time away
Am7 G
To take my time away
Am7 G
To take my time away
Am7 C G
To take my time away
