[G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em]
I hitched a [G]ride with my soul, by the side of the road
[Em]Just as the sky turned black, I took a [G]walk with my fame
Down memory lane, I [Em]never did find my way back


You know that [G]I gotta say time’s slipping away, [Em]and what will it hold for me
What am [G]I gonna do while I’m looking at you, you’re [Em]standing ignoring me


[Bb]I thought that [Am]I heard someone [C]say now
There’s no [G]time for running [Bb]away now. [A]Hey now! Hey [G]now!
[Em]Feel no [G]shame, ’cause [Em]time’s no [G]chain, [Em]feel no [G]shame [Em] [D]


The [G]first thing I saw, as I walked through the door
Was a [Em]sign on the wall that read, it said you [G]might never know
That I want you to know, what is [Em]written inside of your head
And [G]time as it stands, won’t be held in my hands
Or [Em]living inside of my skin, and as it [G]fell from the sky
I asked myself why, can I [Em]never let anyone in?


[Bb]I thought that [Am]I heard someone [C]say now
There’s no [G]time for running [Bb]away now. [A]Hey now! Hey [G]now!
[Em]Feel no [G]shame, ’cause [Em]time’s no [G]chain, [Em]feel no [G]shame [Em] [D]


[G] [Em] [G] [Em] [Bb] [A] [C] [G] [Bb] [A] [G]
[Em]Feel no [G]shame, ’cause [Em]time’s no [G]chain, [Em]feel no [G]shame [Em] [D]


I hitched a [G]ride with my soul, by the side of the road
[Em]Just as the sky turned black, I took a [G]walk with my fame
Down memory lane, I [Em]never did find my way back


You know that [G]I gotta say time’s slipping away, [Em]and what will it hold for me
What am [G]I gonna do while I’m looking at you, you’re [Em]standing ignoring me

There’s no [G]time for running [Bb]away now. [A]Hey now! Hey [G]now!
[Em]Feel no [G]shame, ’cause [Em]time’s no [G]chain, [Em]feel no [G]shame [Em] [D]
