SONG: A QUESTION OF TIME -- Black Celebration

                       G
I've got to get to you first
            F
Before they do 
                        G
It's just a question of time
                      F
Before they lay their hands on you
                           Cm
And make you just like the rest
                       Ab    Eb
I've got to get to you first
                        Gm     F Gm F
It's just a question of time

                        G
Well now you're only fifteen
             F
And you look good 
                       G
I'll take you under my wing
    F
Somebody should
                   Cm
They've persuasive ways
                             Ab   Eb
And you'll believe what they say
                        Cm
It's just a question of time
     Ab
It's running out for you
   Cm
It won't be long 
  Gm
Until you'll do
 Ab               Bb
Exactly what they want you to

[Gm F Gm F]

               G
I can see them now
         F
Hanging around
            G
To mess you up
   F
To strip you down
               Cm
And have their fun
               Ab  Eb
With my little one

                        Cm
It's just a question of time
     Ab
It's running out for you
   Cm
It won't be long 
  Gm
Until you'll do
 Ab               Bb
Exactly what they want you to
   Cm
It won't be long 
  Gm
Until you'll do
 Ab               Bb
Exactly what they want you to


Sometimes I don't blame them
For wanting you
You look good
And they need something to do
Until I look at you
And then I condemn them
I know my kind
What goes on in our minds

                        Gm
It's just a question of time
             F
It should be better
                        Gm
It's just a question of time
             F
It should be better with you
It's just a question of time
