G       Em          G         C 
Uptown, goin' down, old life-line, 
Bm            C       Am               G         D 
Walkin' down faster, walkin' with the master of time, 
             C       Am 
My lady woke up, and she broke down,  
        Dm          Gm 
She got up, she let go, 
Dm                               
Take me, Timer, shake me, Timer, 
                            G 
Timer, let it blow, let it blow, 
                C  F  C  F 
My darlin' friends 

G         C      Em        Dm     G   C 
Oh, I belong to Timer, he changed my face, 
Am      C                 Em 
You're fine, a fine one, Timer, 
            Dm                  G        C 
You got me walkin' through the gates of space, 
         D          Dm                      Em 
I keep remembering in-doors that I used to walk through, 
                                  Dm 
Baby, I'm not tryin' to talk you down, 
                          Em         F      D           G 
But I could walk through them doors onto a pleasure ground, 
        Am         Em     Dm          G 
It was sweet and funny, a pleasure ground, 
        Am         Em            F          Em 
Didn't know about money, didn't know about Timer, 
Dm       Am               Bb 
Did not know about Timer. 

F                            Em        Dm 
Holdin' to my cradle at the start, but now my hand is open, 
    Em                   Am           F  G  F  G 
And now my hand is ready for my heart, 
    C                   Am            Am   G     C  
So let the wind blow, Timer, let the wind blow, Timer 
           Am    C    Em    Am        Gm 
And if the song goes minor, I won't mind. 

Gm                               Dm        G 
And Timer know the Lady's gonna love again, 
    Am              G 
And Timer says the Lady rambles nevermore, 
            Am        G          Dm 
If you love me, too, and if you love me true, 
               F        Em   C   Dm  G 
I'll spend my life with you, you and Timer. 

           C      Em      
You're a jigsaw, Timer, you're a 
Ab               Gm 
God is a jigsaw Timer, 
C                 Em 
You're a jigsaw, Timer, you're a  
Ab               Gm 
God is a jigsaw Timer
