Five O'Clock Shadow at noon
A Mixolydian Mode

(verse 1)
(A6) I spent the morning in (D6) the future again
I (A6) gotta bend the rules (G6/B) now and then
but the (Bm7) lords of time are (F#m) watching me
and (D6) tomorrow's not where I'm (A6) meant to be

(refrain)
So (A) I make the time to (Em) get my way
I re- (G) live the best moments of (D) every day
I (A) know the end is near and I'll (G) be there soon
I've (Bm7) got a five o'clock (A) shadow at noon

(verse 2)
The (A6) judge looked at me, you (D6) forgot to shave
Who'da (A6) thought that stumble would (G6/B) lead me to my grave
But I'm (Bm7) not through yet, cause a (F#m) future me
will (D6) be here any second to (A6) spring me free

(repeat refrain)
(verse 3)
Oh (A6) I can see the future and the (D6) future sees me
but what (A6) the future doesn't know is I (G6/B) broke the key
so I'm (Bm7) one step ahead and a (F#m) thousand years behind
and I'll (D6) reset the clock when I (A6) run out of time

(repeat refrain)
(out)
I've (Bm7) got a five o'clock (A) shadow at noon
