Verse 1:
A
Look, oh, look at what you've done now to me
               D
Dead tired and ornery
            A      Dbm
I'm leaving today, today
E                             Gbm
Thinking of the way I used to spend the time
G                         D
I can see that I have overpaid
E                                Gbm
Past is passed and rather than regret the old
G                            E
I can live it back the other way

Verse 2:
     A
Just look, oh, look at what you've done now to me
                 D
Free-floating temporally
            A      Dbm
I'm leaving today, today
E                        Gbm
I avoid the messiness of misery
G                           D
Playing in dimension number four
E                     Gbm
I can get away to any time I like
G                              E
Space-time's any time and many more

Chorus:
Am      E                   F
   Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
            C       C 
You've been waiting forever
Am                  F             C
   But you can make ever wait for you
Dm
Do what you wanna do
Am       E                   F
    Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
            C          C       Am
You've been waiting forever
            Em            Dm7
You'll have time enough to spend some time alone

Verse 3:
(nc)                       A
Wait -- I await for all e  ternity
                D
With standing modernity
                 A     Dbm
Is where we must stay, today
E                           Gbm
Now I know the nature of no urgency
G                           D
Now I know why now is never gone
E                               Gbm
Fleeting in this mode of making memories
G                               E
Keeping up this pace of keeping on

Chorus:
Am      E                   F
   Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
            C       C 
You've been waiting forever
Am                  F                 C
   But you can make ever wait for you
Dm                Am
Do what you wanna do
     E                   F
Ooh, live the dream in a time machine
            C          C       Am
You've been waiting forever
            Em7            Dm7
You'll have time enough to spend some time alone
    Am
All alone
      G
Time alone
      F
Time alone.

  Ooh, live the dream with a time machine

You've been waiting forever
A      E                     Gbm
  Ooh, live the dream with a time machine

You've been waiting forever
A      E                     Gbm
  Ooh, live the dream with  a time machine

Aa-aa-aa-aah
A      E                     Gbm
