PROPS GO TO: Linzi Hendry

This is a great tune off the album Tragic Kingdom. I'm pretty sure this tab is 100% correct.

Lyrics.

Intro - Fig.1

Verse 1 - Fig.2          I'm like a beggar with no luck
                         I'm holding signs up
                         On your streetcorner stops
                         Like most you try not to see me
                         You stare straight ahead
                         Ignore the responsibility


Bridge 1 -               Excuse me... excuse me Mr.
Fig.3 & 4                I've been waiting in line
                         And I'd like to buy some of your time
                         I'm very anxious, eager, willing
                         What's your billing?

Chorus 1 - Fig.5         So please excuse me Mr.
                         You've got things all wrong
                         You make it feel like like a crime
                         So don't confuse me Mr.
                         I've known you too long
                         All I need is a little of your time

Verse 2 - Fig.2          For most love comes for free
                         They don't pay the high cost
                         Of mental custody
                         I'll pay bail for a guarantee
                         Please make space for me
                         In the time yet to be

Bridge 2 -               Excuse me... excuse me Mr.
Fig.3 & 4                I've been waiting in line
                         And I'd like to buy some of your time
                         I've been saving up my life
                         What's your price?

Chorus 2                 Same as chorus 1

Middle - Fig.6           What should I do?
                         I'm about to crack
                         And there's a force
                         That comes over me
                         It's almost as if I'm tied to the tracks
                         And I'm waiting for him
                         To rescue me
                         The funny thing is
                         He's not going to come
                         He's going to find me
                         This is a matter of fact
                         The desire you lack
                         This is the way I guess it has to be...

Play Fig. 2              A little of your time
                         I need a little of your time
                         Please, a little of your time, yeah

Chorus 3                 Same as chorus 1

Chorus 4 - Fig.5         Ooh, I'm in line to buy time
                         I'm in line to buy time
                         I'm in line to
                         I'm in line to, excuse me
                         Well I've been waiting in line
                         Excuse me, excuse me Mr.


End with note F on string B fret 6.
