(B) Runnin' down the interstate  
Coffee drippin' down my leg  
Every day I'm runnin' late 
Gettin' slapped ar(A)ound by the (E) hands of (B) time 
 
Next (B) lane there's a pick-up  
A girl puttin' on her make-up  
Her cellular phone's startin' to break up 
She's gettin' slapped ar(A)ound by the (E) hands of (B) time 
 
(F#) Everybody's runnin' a little (B) late like me 
The (F#) whole world's runnin' be(B)hind 
(F#) Can't seem to get where we (G#m) need to be 
Gettin' slapped ar(A)ound by the (E) hands of (B) time 
 
Harmonica Solo: 
 
(B) Here comes a carpool 
Mama's got her hands full 
Six kids all late for school 
Gettin' slapped ar(A)ound by the (E) hands of (B) time 
 
Just passed the (B) governor's motorcade 
Must've had a flat tire on the way 
I guess everybody's got to wait 
When you're slapped ar(A)ound by the (E) hands of (B) time 
 
(F#) Everybody's runnin' a little (B) late like me 
The (F#) whole world's runnin' be(B)hind 
(F#) Can't seem to get where we (G#m) need to be 
Gettin' slapped ar(A)ound by the (E) hands of (B) time 
Yeah (F#) everybody's runnin' a little (B) late like me 
The (F#) whole world's runnin' be(B)hind 
(F#) Can't seem to get where we (G#m) need to be 
Gettin' slapped ar(A)ound by the (E) hands of (B) time
