Harrowed what your mother said         D  D E F#m7

Read the books your father read        FM9 D A-X X

Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time - …

Some may have more cash than you

Others take a different view

My, oh my                                  [Bridge]

Hey, hey    [Chorus]   Bm7 Bm7 A  A  -  D D E E-A

Time asks no questions - It goes on without you

Leaving you behind - If you can't stand the pace

The world keeps on spinning

Can't stop it if you try to

The best part is danger - Staring you in the face

Whoa

Remember  [Verse #1 - Lines #1~6      [Chorus] (x2)

                 #2 - Lines #7~8]    (…, yeah x3~2)


Got to be (bold/bad/wise) (x3) - Do what others say

Got to be hard - Not too, too hard

All I know is

Love will save the day [Chorus] (… - Yeah) [Chorus]
