What'd you do?) A F#m The number scheme comes back to me A F#m In times beyond our heartbeat E We hung around til the final band Called Escape Is At Hand For The Travellin' Man You yelled in my ear, 'This music speaks to me.' They launched into Lonely From Rock and Roll Followed by They Checked Out An Hour Ago Closing with All Desires Turn Concrete A F#m Those melodies come back to me A F#m B At times beyond our heartbeat CHORUS: E B I guess I'm too slow, yes I'm too, E Yes I'm too slow A C#m B But you said anytime of the day was fine A C#m B E You said anytime of the night was also fine E I walked through your revolving door Got no answer on the seventh floor The elevator gave a low moan The pigeons sagged the wire with their weight While listening to the singing chambermaid She sang They Checked Out An Hour Ago (And I chuckled...) A F#m Those melodies come back to me A F#m In times beyond our heartbeat CHORUS: Our heartbeat Long conversations or idle chit-chat Maybe dive in or maybe hang back Idle conversation or idle chitchat Maybe dive in or maybe hang back
