Verse One:
----------------
A9 A CMaj7 C
I wanted to be with you alone
A9 A CMaj7 C
And talk about the weather
A9 A CMaj7 C
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
A9 A CMaj7 C
Won't escape my attention
A9 A CMaj7 C
You keep your distance with a system of touch
A9 A CMaj7 C
And gentle persuasion
A9 A CMaj7 C
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much
A9 A CMaj7 C
Oh you're wasting my time, you're just, just, just wasting time
Chorus:
-----------

I never find out 'til I'm head over heels
G Em
Something happens and I'm head over heels

Ah don't take my heart don't break my heart don't don't don't throw it away
A9 A CMaj7 C
Throw it away
A9 A CMaj7 C
Throw it away
Verse two (as verse one):
-------------------------------------
I made a fire and watching it burn
I thought of your future
With one foot in the past now just how long will it last
No, no, no have you no ambition
My mother and my brothers used to breathing clean air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a man when there's a gun in your hand
Oh I feel so...
(Chorus)
Verse Three (add tab intro throughout):
--------------------------------------------------------
C Dsus4
And this is my four leaf clover
C Dsus4
I'm on the line, one open mind, this is my four leaf clover
C Dsus4
La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la la
C Dsus4
La la la la la, la la la la in my mind's eye
C
One little boy, one little man, funny how
Am/D
Time flies
