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?
