The Time Machine

	  		


   G           Bm 
He circled and stared 
Em          C  
nervous and scared 
   G                             D 
he knew both the thrill and the cost 
        G            Bm 
but he didn?t think twice 
      Em       C 
this amazing device 
        Am                         D 
was his last chance to see what he?d lost 
       C                 D 
now if time is really a river 
       G                           C 
and upstream?s where he needed to be 
           G             C 
he set his sights on the past 
    G    Bm      Em 
and finished his glass 
    D            C     G 
and went back in history 

       C                  D 
To the casual eye it's a barstool 
         G           Bm          C 
but it's really much more than it seems 
  G               C 
a few drinks and then 
           G        Em 
she'll be with him again 
       D           C      G 
as he sits on the time machine 

Bm Em C 

     G       Bm 
Like all pioneers 
   Em           C 
he swallowed his fears 
    G 
and watched the whole room 
        D  	  
fade to black 
     G        Bm 
he's dying to go 

         Em         C 
but he's no fool, he knows 
    Am                     D 
how hard it will be to come back 
      C                        D 
but tonight he's tired of the lonely 
      G                       C 
and tomorrow will not be the cure 
         G             C 
so he'll just slip away  
G    Bm     Em 
find yesterday 
    D              C          G 
and spend one more night with her 

       C                         Bm 
Now as far as the customers can tell 
          D                  G 
he's just one more fool who talks to himself 
>          C                            Bm 
but every man in this place would line up 
        Em    	  	             D 
if they knew what that seat really was 

           C                 D 
But to the casual eye it's a barstool 
         G           Bm          C 	  
but it's really much more than it seems 
       G               C 
just a few drinks and then 
           G         Em  
she'll be with him again 
       D           C      G 
as he sits on the time machine 

        G                 C 
Just a few drinks and then 
          G          Em 
she'll be with him again 
       D          C       G 
as he sits on the time machine
