A        G
You've been keeping me lonely
                         A        G
You've been keeping me down
           A                      D
And I'm sitting here wondering
                        E
Why I'm still hanging around


                         A        G
The night's grown cold, babe
                    A        G
Can't you see the signs?
             A              D
Ah, there's no use wasting
                E
This precious time


(N/C)            A      G
Look out your window
               A      G
Ah, can't you see?
          A
That the sun is getting fast
            D           E
For you and me


                   A         G
Ah, you've grown hard, babe
                    A       G
Can't you see the signs?
             A              D
Ah, there's no use wasting
                E
This precious time


                         A       D
Well, I should be out seeking
              A         D
Instead of hiding
                          A          D
Yeah, I should be out laughing
              G                E
Instead of crying, crying, crying


  (N/C)                        A       G
'Coz you've been keeping me lonely
                        A       G
You've been keeping me down
                        A               D
And I'm sitting here thinking to myself
                    E
Why I'm sticking around


                    A        D
When you no longer hear me
                     A   D
And your eyes can't see
             G
What this precious time
                     E
Means to someone like me


                     A     D
Oh, I wanna start living
                  A       D
Life's for the taking
                        A     D
And I've gotta start living
                 G                 E
If I wanna be tasting, tasting, tasting
                 A               F             G             A          
This precious tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime
