All time is complicated 
C                               G 
It sails away when we want it to stay

Staring us down when we want it to move on

I am a patient in your room of waiting

Wait for the bad news

No net to catch this time

Verse 
Em         G 
Time stands still 
              C 
But you can't run away, run away 
Em    G            C 
Hours pass with no natural light 
   Em               G      C 
You always set me up to fail in the worst way 
   Em 
You know it 
          G 
Don't you know it? 
          C 
Don't you run 

Chorus 

Em     G C           Em   G C 
Oh time, counter-intuition 
Em                G                  C          Em G C 
I can't get it to work for me or the things I need
