Ballad Of Barry Allen

	  		
 



Intro: Am C G F 


verse 1: 
                Am                          C 
I've got time to think about the beauty of a thousand variations 
      G 
Of the beating of a wing 
    F                            Am 
Of a hummingbird suspended in the aspic of a world 
      C 
Moving slower than molasses 
      G 
As i'm off to catch the girl 
      F 
Who is falling off the bridge 


 

       F 
And I'm there before she knows it 
       G 
I'll be gone before she sees me 
      Am 
Got my hand around her waist 
    C 
As I pull her back to safety 
      F 
By the time she knows what happens 
             G 
There will be someone else who needs me 
       Am                  C 
Because time keeps dragging on 
   F       E       Am   C 
And on, And on, And on 
G                  F 
Time keeps dragging on 



verse 2: 
                Am                       C 
I've got time to think about my past as I dodge  
                          G 
Between the bullets how my life was so exciting  
F                            Am 
Before I got this way and how long ago it was now 
 C                        G 
I never can explain by the clock that's on the Tower  
      F 
Or the one that's in my brain 




       F 
And I'm there before you know it 
       G 
I'll be gone before you see me 
       Am 
And I'd like to get to know you 
          C 
But you're talking much too slowly 
     F 
And I know you'd really like me 
     G 
But I never stick around 
       Am                  C 
Because time keeps dragging on 
   F       E 
And on, And on 



Bridge: 
       Am                 C 
And you say the time goes rushing by 
      G                F 
But it seems so slow to me 
       Am            C 
And you see a blur around you fly 
      G 
But it takes too long 
  F                Am  C  G  F 
It seems so slow to me 


verse 3: 
                   Am 
I should have never gone into my lab to  
   C                        G  
Experiment that night before lightning flashed around me 
   F 
And time changed speed 
             Am                                C 
Now I have to try to be so patient and wait for calamity to strike 
            G 
Because when things change in an instant 
           F 
It's almost fast enough for me 



           F 
And I'll be there before you know it 
       G 
I'll be gone before you see me 
          Am 
And do you think you can imagine 
C 
Anything so lonely 
     F 
And I know you'd really like me 
     G 
But I never stick around 
       Am                  C 
Because time keeps dragging on 
   F       E 
And on, And on 



Bridge: (x2) 
       Am                 C 
And you say the time goes rushing by 
      G                F 
But it seems so slow to me 
       Am                           C 
And you complain I'm gone before you blink your eye 
      G 
But it takes too long 
  F 
It seems so slow 

       Am                 C 
And you say the time goes rushing by 
      G                F 
But it seems so slow to me 
             Am                C 
And I want to be there when you laugh or cry 
      G 
But it takes too long 
  F                Am  C  G  F 
It seems so slow to me 

Am C G F 

Time keeps dragging on
