This Time

(Intro.  G Em C Am G)
G                      Em
What the hell is going on
Am               C     G
With this -- the day begins
Em                    C
The question comes to mind
Am                G
As I slip into my sins

Em                     Am
You're already getting dressed
C                 G
As another day commences
Em                   C
The alarm is buzzing still
Am               G
As I put up my defenses

Bm            G    Am       Bm
Oh... Why did you... put my on
C    Am    G      Em
Only to... set me down
Am          C    G     Em
And why did I... turn around
C    Am    G     G(F#bass)
Only to... turn around

    Em      
And why did you call
     
When you know I'll believe
     Am
That this time...
      ? (some kind of B chord -- notes are e b d g c e)
Won't be...
     C
This time
     
    G         
And why do you think

When you ring once again
     G(F#bass)
That this time...
      Em
Won't be...
     C   ?   Am
This time


G                       Em
You say you'll take the bus
Am               C      G
As I stretch and try to focus
Em                  C
Too tired to make a fuss
Am                    G
Not sure there's even an "us"

Em                  Am
At six it's awfully still
C                   G
For all this clumsy fumbing
Em            C
I hope nobody hears
Am             G
Me rising into crumbling

Bm            G     Am      Bm
Oh... Why did you... put me on
C    Am    G      Em
Only to... put me down
Am          C    G     Em
And why did I... turn around
C    Am    G     G(F#bass)
Only to... turn around
    Em      
And why do you call

When you know I'll believe
     Am
That this time...
      ? (weird B chord)
Won't be...
     C
This time
    G
And why do I think

When you ring once again
     G(F#bass)
That this time...
      Em
Won't be...
     C   ?   Am
This time
