Beat the Clock

G                   F       C    G                 F           C
I was born a little premature,   Mom just couldn't take no more
G                       F    G                     F         
Had no time to learn to cry, Goodbye, Mama, got to fly
G                   F             C    
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Entered school when I was two, PhD'd that afternoon
Never entered any sports, Didn't look too good in shorts
Got divorced when I was four

Chorus:
Dm 
I've seen everything there is, I've done everything there is
     G 
I've met everyone but Liz now I've even met ol' Liz
Dm 
No time for relationship, skip the foreplay, let 'er rip
          G 
You gotta beat the clock, beat the clock, Beat the clock, beat the clock

I did lots of travelling, Parts of me unraveling
The Army then rejected me, Said I had two flat feet
Wore them out when I was three

Too bad there ain't ten of you, Then I'd show you what I'd do
I could cheat on five of you and be faithful to you too
But there's only one of you

Chorus
