Lyrics
What an a maz ing time.
What a fam i ly.
How did the years go by?
(F)Now it’s on ly (Gm)me.
(CN.C.)Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock tick tock.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
Like a cat in heat, stuck in a mov ing car.
A scar y con ver sa tion, shut my eyes.
Can’t find the brake.
What if they say that you’re a climb er?
Nat ’ral ly I’m wor ried if I do it a lone.
Who real ly cares ’cause it’s your life.
You nev er know it could be great.
Take a chance ’cause you might grow, ohh, ohh, ooh.
A what you wait in’, what you (C5)wait in’, what you wait in’, (D5)what you (Gsus)wait in’, (Gm7)what you (Gsus)wait in’ (Gm7)for?
A what you wait in’, what you (D5)wait in’, what you wait in’, (C5)what (Bb5)you (Gsus)wait in’ (Gm7)what you (Gsus)wait in’ (Gm7)for?
(CN.C.)Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.
Take a chance you stu pid ho.
Like an ech o ped al, you’re re peat ing your self.
You know it all by heart.
Why are you stand ing in one place?
I’m born to blos som, bloom to per ish.
You know you’re wigg ing out ’cause of your sex chro mo some.
I know it’s so messed up how our so ci e ty all thinks.
Life is short, you’re cap a ble, ooh, ooh, ooh.
(C5)Look at your watch (D5)now.
You’re (Gm7)still a (Gsus)sup er (Gm7)hot (Gsus)fe (Gm7)male.
You got your (D5)mil lion dol lar con (C5)tract.
And (Gm7)they’re all (Gsus)wait ing (Gm7)for your (Gsus)hot (Gm7)track.
A what you wait in’, what you (C5)wait in’, what you wait in’, (D5)what you (Gsus)wait in’, (Gm7)what you (Gsus)wait in’ (Gm7)for?
A what you wait in’, what you (D5)wait in’, what you wait in’, (C5)what (Bb5)you (Gsus)wait in’, (Gm7)what you (Gsus)wait in’ (Gm7)for?

Take a chance you stu pid ho.
