I know its not your fault, but I'm a locked door
C# F
Anytime I'm a mess by someone before
A#m F#
And I wish that I, I could find a key
C# G#
To unlock all the things that you want us to be
F# C# F
Let me open up and start again,
F
But there's a safe around my heart
F# C# G#
I don't know how to let you in,
G#
And that's what keeps us apart
A#m F#
And that's why I need time.
D#m G#m
I said I need you
A#m F# D#m G#
I need you, you understand, you, you, you
A#m F#m C# 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
D#m
I'm thinking now's the time,
G#
Maybe its time to go, if I gave you my heart, be gentle,
D#m
I'm tired of laying low, lets give the world a show
G# F# C# G#
And when you know, you know,
G# F# C# G#
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)
A#m G#
I need you to understand

I need you to understand

I need you to understand
F
I need you to understand
A#m F# C# F A#m F# C# G#
I need you, I need you, I need you, you, you
