Common Time

Cm   Gm             F                         Cm              F
 Try teachin' me love with a circle and a square drawn in the sand
Cm                F                    Cm       Gm        F
 Try see from above what you cannot see from where you stand, mmh-mmh
Cm   Gm           F                     Cm           F
 Try playin’ a four-part fugue on a small elastic band


[Chorus]
F            Eb
 I'm talkin' common time, common time, simple and true
F                        Eb
 I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do
F                         Eb
 I’m talkin' common time, common time, products of two
F                    Eb
 Common to everyone, common to me and to you

Cm F

[Verse 2]
Cm   Gm           F                      Cm       Gm     F
 Try blowin' a conch if you're overwhelmed with your desire
Cm   Gm              F                       Cm   Gm      F
 Try burnin' your scattered thoughts in a single focused fire
Cm    Gm          F              Cm            F
 Try showin' a manuscript to a large unruly choir


[Chorus]
F            Eb
 I'm talkin' common time, common time, simple and true
F                        Eb
 I hear it all the time, in my mind, really I do
F                         Eb
 I’m talkin’ common time, common time, products of two
F                    Eb
 Common to everyone, common to me and to you
