| Am         | Am         | Dm         | F          |
| Am         | Am         | Dm         | F          |
| Am         | Am         | Dm         | F          |
| Am         | Am         | Dm         | F          |

[Verse 1]
Am             Am                Dm             F
  I'm much too headstrong for my own good,
Am          Am           Dm             F
  I'm too involved to realize
            Am        Am            Dm             F
that your uncertainty   will be the death of me.
      Am                  Am
But I lose my will and if looks could kill,
          Dm                       F
I've been struck down dead by your beautiful eyes.

[Chorus]
Am              C     F                  G
Time after time   you challenge me for a reason,
Am              C   F              G
I know that I'm   impossible and deceiving.
Am                  C        F                      G
I've seen the signs   you're telling me that you're leaving,
Am               C Am               G
time after time,   time after time.

[Interlude]
| Am         | Am         | Dm         | F          |
| Am         | Am         | Dm         | F          |

[Verse 2]
Am               Am           Dm             F
  These games of politics and romance,
Am                Am          Dm             F
  they're quite impossible to win.
          Am          Am    Dm                        F
I can't unfathom you,   one minute you love me or you say you do.
           Am                Am
And then I turn my back, I'm under attack,
  Dm                       F
I turn to hold you and you stick the knife in.

[Chorus]
Am              C     F                  G
Time after time   you challenge me for a reason,
Am              C   F              G
I know that I'm   impossible and deceiving.
Am                  C        F                      G
I've seen the signs   you're telling me that you're leaving,
Am               C Am               G
time after time,   time after time.

[Bridge]
C          G                F               G
  And if I change to be the way you say you want me,
C           G               F             G
  I'll only be the way I've always wanted to.
                    Am    C      F      G
You know as well as I do,
                    Am    C      F      G
you know as well as I do.

[Interlude]
| Am         | C          | F          | G          |
| Am         | C          | F          | G          |

[Chorus]
Am                C     F                  G
  Time after time   you challenge me for a reason,
Am                C   F              G
  I know that I'm   impossible and deceiving.
Am                  C        F                      G
I've seen the signs   you're telling me that you're leaving,
Am               C Am               G
time after time,   time after time.

[Chorus]
Am              C     F                  G
Time after time   you challenge me for a reason,
Am              C   F              G
I know that I'm   impossible and deceiving.
Am                  C        F                      G
I've seen the signs   you're telling me that you're leaving,
Am               C F          G
time after time,     oh, well I still love you.

[Outro 1]
Am               C F G
Time after time,       oh, I love you.
Am               C F                     G
Time after time,     you know, you know, I still love you.
Am               C F       G
Time after time,     oh, I love you.
Am               C             F                 G
Time after time,   after time, after time, after time, ...
