Bbm                        Gb
I know its not your fault, but I'm a locked door
Db              F
Anytime I'm a mess by someone before
Bbm               Gb
And I wish that I, I could find a key
Db                 Ab
To unlock all the things that you want us to be

Gb            Db              F
Let me open up and start again,
F
But there's a safe around my heart
Gb            Db              Ab
I don't know how to let you in,
Ab
And that's what keeps us apart

Bbm                   Gb
And that's why I need time.
     Ebm      Abm
I said I need you
              Bbm            Gb  Ebm  Ab
I need you, you understand, you, you, you
              Bbm            Gbm   Db   F
I need you, you understand, you, you, you

Call up the locksmith,
Tell him we need him quick
We've got a million keys,?
None of them seem to fit
While your on the phone,
call up the clocksmith,
Cuz I could use some time,
Even the slightest bit

Let me open up and start again,
And break this safe around my heart
I don't know how to let you in,
And that's what keeps us apart

And that's why I need time
I said I need you
I need you to understand, you, you, you

I need you to understand

Ebm
I'm thinking now's the time,
                      Ab
Maybe its time to go, if I gave you my heart, be gentle,
Ebm
I'm tired of laying low, lets give the world a show
Ab                            Gb Db Ab
And when you know, you know,
Ab                                     Gb Db Ab
And when you know, you know, you know

And when you know, you know, you know, you know

And that's why I need time
I said I need you,
I need you to understand, you, you, you (2x)
