Intro
E A E A F#m G#m A G E
E
I hate to complain, you know
A
But then again
E A
I cannot pretend nothing's wrong
F#m G#m
Looking at my present situation
A G E
The act cannot last for long
Viewed from outside
These pursuits I've not tried
Seem possessed of a certain allure
Now they're no longer a source of mystery
My faith in them's more unsure
Chorus
A B
Now the time to play is over
C#m G
Time to dispose of the lies
F# G#m A G
Time to show what's really on my mind
A B
Yes I'd like to turn you over
C#m G
To see what's on your other side
F# G#m A G
To see if the problem's in my mind
A G F# E
In my mind
The choice is quite clear
To move on or stay here
The decision is harder to take
To reject what I have
For something unstable
Could easily be a mistake
So I walk round the place
With a smile on my face
Pretending the best that I can
Hoping to lose the inclination
To desire what I can't understand
And the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really on my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
To see if the problem's in my mind
In my mind
(La la la la la la la la la la...)
Now the time to play is over
Time to dispose of the lies
Time to show what's really on my mind
Yes I'd like to turn you over
To see what's on your other side
Like to turn it over in my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
In my mind
