C#m B Amaj7 C#m 
There's nC#mo tick tock on your eBlectric clock
But sAmaj7till your life runs dC#mown
There's no tick tock on your Belectric clock
But sAmaj7till your life runs dC#mown
E F#m G#m A (x2)
I'm hEalfway to hF#meaven and my hG#mome in Forest HilAls
It's hBalf past elC#meven I've gDot some tC#mime to kBill
IE missed bus connectF#mion my tG#mrain got in too lAate
And I'm foBrced into reflectC#mion by this hDalf-hC#mour waAit
Now IE have been a stF#mraight man and I pG#mlayed it by the ruAles
IB've C#mbeen aD gooC#md man Ba good husband a good old fashioned fool
I have a fEine wife and two childF#mren just like eG#mverybody's gAot
But after fBifteen years of marC#mriage the fiDres dC#mon't burn too hAot
Ah sAomeone played a tErickB on me
TG#7hey seCt me up so perfeC#mctly
TAhe gave me their moralEityB 
And then G#7changeCd the rules they set fC#mor me
SAomeone must be lEaughBing now
AG#7lthougCh it don't seem funnyC#m somehow
HAow the world's acceptiEng nBow
WG#7hat thCey once would not alC#mlow back in my yoF#7unger days.
The wB7orld has changed in so mEany ways.
My mEother once said to me soF#m7 many years ago now
"G#m7Don't you touch those bAmaj7ad girls."
SG#m7o I never hAmaj7ad girls
UntG#m7il I had my MaAmaj7ry when we marDried
My MG#m7ary then had myAmaj7 two sons
My lG#m7ife as a lover was alAmaj7ready done
It was oG#m7ver befAmaj7ore it had reDally begunA 
Ah Asomeone played a tErickB on me
JG#7ust seCnt this little girl C#mto me
SAhe is my new sEecreBtary
AG#7nd sheC's something to seeC#m 
Yes she's a nF#7ice girl
But it's a yoB7ung world
And she lEives her life so fAmaj7ree
And she sEure gets through to meAmaj7 
E Amaj7 G B 
She brings her pEad into my ofF#m7fice
She wears a sG#m7weater and a skiAmaj7rt
SBomewhere deep inside C#mof me
SoDmething sC#mtarts to hBurt
She's wEearing nothing unF#m7derneath
I can sG#m7ee what there's to seeAmaj7 
She sBmiles and says "You wantC#med me?"
I'Dd haC#mve to agAree
You kAnow how much I wEant Bher
And G#7I knowC that I could have C#mher
I kAnow I cEould I kG#7now she wC#mould
Make lF#7ove to me so wB7onderfully
God dC#mamn!
I'm one cF#7razy mixed up mBixture of a maC#mn
In my hEead all my lifeAmaj7 
I've been a sEinner Amaj7 
And in my bEed with just my wAmaj7ife
I'm still Ea beginner Amaj7 
But tomEorrow niAmaj7ght
I'm taEking that lF#m7ittle girl
Out to dC#minner! B A C#m 
There's nC#mo tick tock on your eBlectric clock
But sAmaj7till your life runs dC#mown
There's no tick tock on your Belectric clock
But sAmaj7till your life runs dC#mown
