D 
You waved goodbye on the other side 
   G                 A                   D          G    A 
And I said "Hello, why don't you ever leave me?" 
D 
But she crossed the room and she tried to hide 
      G                   A                   D          G    A 
I said "I told you once. Why don't you believe me?" 
D 
And the pink light shined and knocked me blind 
   G                      A                   D          G    A 
I said "Would you mind if I tried to make this easy?" 
D 
And she clenched her eyes and she rolled her fists 
   G                       A                   D          G    A 
And she wondered out loud what it takes to please me 

G 
I was halfway to the door 
              A                         D 
And in the street, the band was playing just for me

D 
Well I once knew her like I knew me 
 G            A                 D          G    A 
Nobody could see how she could own me 
D                                   G 
In the room I was petrified and I tried 
    A                          D          G    A 
My best to hide how she could use me 
D 
In neon signs a hundred feet high 
   G                 A              D          G    A 
I no doubt live forever, she would want me 
D                                   G 
And I was left in no such doubt and in  
                 A                   D          G    A 
That one sweet moment, she would haunt me 

G 
And in my dreams and in my nightmares 
     A                     D 
The band was there, playing just for me

D 
I would die for you she cried 
   G                 A                   D          G    A 
I tried not to decide how I would leave her 
D 
There was nothing left to tell myself 
   G                 A                   D          G    A 
I wonder if I could believe her 

D 
No time to hide, no time to lie 
G                      A                     (and repeat for the rest of the song) 
No time to watch the world pass me by 
No time to grin, no time to choose 
No time to chase the ghosts from my shoes 
No time to win, no time to bawl 
No time to creep and no time to crawl 
No time for sleep, no time for sin 
No time to lose, and nothing to win 
No time for heroics, no time to feed 
Nothing to confess, hard to concede 
No time for sin, no time for love 
Sex was a curse sent from above 
No time to cry, no time to explain 
Nothing to scream and no one to blame 
No time for silence, no time at all 
No time to fail, and nowhere to fall 
No time to hide, no time to lie 
No time to watch the world pass me by 
No time to grin, no time to choose 
No time to chase the ghosts from my shoes 
No time to sleep, no time for sin 
No time to lose and no time to win
