A              Amaj7
Time so little time
   Dm
Is all I'm hanging on to

And loads of drugs to feed the rhythm
A                Amaj7
Rhyme I'm out of rhyme
    Dm
And nothing to hang on to
                                  A
A record and a phone to kill the time

[Bridge 1]
     E
And birds were there and cowards too
     F#m
And candy for the first time

No one kept the boy from going numb, going numb

[Verse 2]
A               Amaj7
Ride the horses in
    Dm
And feed them while the day breaks

Appreciation's all they need
    A               Amaj7
And rye whole lotta time
   Dm
Is all they can relate to
                                  A
A saddle and a court to beat the time

[Bridge 2]
     E
And birds were there and cowards too
     F#m
And candy for the first time
D                                B
Blinded by his trip the boy was reaching for the stairway
D       E
High so high
                               Dm    E
No one kept the boy from going numb

[Chorus]
A               G
When will I get older
                D
I'm hardly any wiser
               F
A reason to believe you
         A
Until I die
              G
Frozen to the turnstiles
                 D
A harbourside to be mine
               F
A reason to believe you
         A
Until I die
