Intro:
(Riff #1) x2

(Riff #2)
You slip inside this room

(Riff #2)
In colors of cartoons

     A                  D       (Riff #1)
With words that whet my wanting


(Riff #2)
Your subtle scent perfume

(Riff #2)
The scent that spells my doom

   A                        D             (Riff #1)
So very sweet you spell and spell my name



Chorus:
    C#m                F#         A            E
But you can't wait for time, it's much too necessary

C#m                F#         A            E 
You can't wait for time, it's much too necessary



(Riff #2)
One thousand and two hundred

(Riff #2)
Let dawn stop this hand

    A         D         (Riff #1)
And come upon September


(Riff #2)
With lips of broken blue

(Riff #2)
Up from our untimed tryst

        A        D       (Riff #1)
Forever smelling summer



(Chorus)

A                  C#
It's much too necessary

It's much too necessary (temporary)

F#                 A    E (Riff #1 w/ harmonics)



(Riff #2)
With Southern take your time

(Riff #2)
Put a fist inside this chest

    A                         D     (Riff #1)
And lay this foolish thing to rest


(Riff #2)
In colors of cartoon

(Riff #2)
With lips of broken blue

A                D      (Riff #1)
Forever smelling summer

It's much too necessary

It's much too temporary
