A5        G5
You've been keeping me lonely
                         A5        G5
You've been keeping me down
           A5                      D5
And I'm sitting here wondering
                        E5
Why I'm still hanging around


                         A5        G5
The night's grown cold, babe
                    A5        G5
Can't you see the signs?
             A5              D5
Ah, there's no use wasting
                E5
This precious time


(N/C )            A5      G5
Look out your window
               A5      G5
Ah, can't you see?
          A5
That the sun is getting fast
            D5           E5
For you and me


                   A5         G5
Ah, you've grown hard, babe
                    A5       G5
Can't you see the signs?
             A5              D5
Ah, there's no use wasting
                E5
This precious time


                         A5       D5
Well, I should be out seeking
              A5         D5
Instead of hiding
                          A5          D5
Yeah, I should be out laughing
              G5                E5
Instead of crying, crying, crying


  (N/C )                        A5       G5
'Coz you've been keeping me lonely
                        A5       G5
You've been keeping me down
                        A5               D5
And I'm sitting here thinking to myself
                    E5
Why I'm sticking around


                    A5        D5
When you no longer hear me
                     A5   D5
And your eyes can't see
             G5
What this precious time
                     E5
Means to someone like me


                     A5     D5
Oh, I wanna start living
                  A5       D5
Life's for the taking
                        A5     D5
And I've gotta start living
                 G5                 E5
If I wanna be tasting, tasting, tasting
                 A5               F5             G5             A5          
This precious tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
