Collin Raye The Time Machine
Written By: Gary Burr
G Bm Em C D C G
G Bm
He circled and stared
Em C
nervous and scared
G D
he knew both the thrill and the cost
G Bm
but he didn't think twice
Em C
this amazing device
Am D
was his last chance to see what he�d lost
C D
now if time is really a river
G C
and upstream�s where he needed to be
G C
he set his sights on the past
G Bm Em
and finished his glass
D C G
and went back in history
C D
To the casual eye it's a barstool
G Bm C
but it's really much more than it seems
G C
a few drinks and then
G Em
she'll be with him again
D C G
as he sits on the time machine
Bm Em C
G Bm
Like all pioneers
Em C
he swallowed his fears
G
and watched the whole room
D
fade to black
G Bm
he's dying to go
Em C
but he's no fool, he knows
Am D
how hard it will be to come back
C D
but tonight he's tired of the lonely
G C
and tomorrow will not be the cure
G C
so he'll just slip away
G Bm Em
find yesterday
D C G
and spend one more night with her
C Bm
Now as far as the customers can tell
D G
he's just one more fool who talks to himself
> C Bm
but every man in this place would line up
Em D
if they knew what that seat really was
C D
But to the casual eye it's a barstool
G Bm C
but it's really much more than it seems
G C
just a few drinks and then
G Em
she'll be with him again
D C G
as he sits on the time machine
G C
Just a few drinks and then
G Em
she'll be with him again
D C G
as he sits on the time machine
Bm Em C D C G
