Intro
E5   A5   E5   A5   F#5  Ab5  A5  G5  E5

  E5         
I hate to complain, you know
A5
But then again
  E5                        A5
I cannot pretend nothing's wrong
F#5                   Ab5
Looking at my present situation
    A5          G5        E5    
The act cannot last for long

Viewed from outside
These pursuits I've not tried
Seem possessed of a certain allure
Now they're no longer a source of mystery
My faith in them's more unsure

Chorus
        A5               B5
Now the time to play is over
C#5                    G5
Time to dispose of the lies
F#5                  Ab5          A5      G5
Time to show what's really on my mind
        A5                B5
Yes I'd like to turn you over
   C#5                      G5
To see what's on your other side
   F#5         Ab5             A5       G5
To see if the problem's in my mind
      A5    G5    F#5     E5
In my mind

The choice is quite clear
To move on or stay here
The decision is harder to take
To reject what I have
For something unstable
Could easily be a mistake

So I walk round the place
With a smile on my face
Pretending the best that I can
Hoping to lose the inclination
To desire what I can't understand

And the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really on my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's in my mind
In my mind

(La la la la la la la la la la...)

Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really on my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
Like to turn it over in my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
