Pre-Chorus
Do arpeggiation on each chords first 3 strings straight
down starting at low E twice on each chord until you go
back around to B the 3nd time then change to downstrokes
on the chords and increase the speed slowly to 8ths
B
Can you fix
A
What’s already broken
G
Can you see a star
A
Before the light
Hits your eye
B
A
And can you divine
G
Like some mystic
A
Kind of spy
Go to downstokes here all 8ths (8times)
B
A
And stars are exploding
G
A
While my words are flowing
B

B
Trying to capture
A
What you can’t see
G
Is like trying to be something
A
You’re not meant to be
B
When you fly
A
To the other side
G
Are you just there
A
For the ride
B A
You got nothin but time when you blow your mind
G A
You got nothin but time when you blow your mind
Do arpeggiation on each chords first 3 strings straight down starting at low E twice on each chord until you go back around two times then use same bar chord progression as before only use the following strumming pattern. Two downstokes then up, down, up, down to get the rock feel. Do the chord progression through once using this pattern then start singing when you get back to the B bar chord. Tambourine starts here.
Verse 2
I once knew a boy
Who liked to party at school
He smoked at recess
And broke all the rules
Now he’s in heaven
Still a little bit lazy
Nobody ever thought
He’d become crazy
You got nothing but time
When you blow your mind
You got nothing but time
When you blow your mind
Outro
Use arpeggiation again
B
Can you fix
A
What’s already broken
G
Can you see a star
A
Before the light
Hits your eye
Go to downstokes here all 8ths (8times)
B
A
And can you divine
G
Like some mystic
A
Kind of spy
B

And stars are exploding
G

While my words are flowing
