Lyrics.

Intro

Fig.1

Verse 1

Fig.2 I'm like a beggar with no luck

I'm holding signs up

On your streetcorner stops

Like most you try not to see me

You stare straight ahead

Ignore the responsibility

Bridge 1

Excuse me... excuse me Mr.

Fig.3 & 4 I've been waiting in line

And I'd like to buy some of your time

I'm very anxious, eager, willing

What's your billing?

Chorus 1

Fig.5 So please excuse me Mr.

You've got things all wrong

You make it feel like like a crime

So don't confuse me Mr.

I've known you too long

All I need is a little of your time

Verse 2

Fig.2 For most love comes for free

They don't pay the high cost

Of mental custody

I'll pay bail for a guarantee

Please make space for me

In the time yet to be

Bridge 2

Excuse me... excuse me Mr.

Fig.3 & 4 I've been waiting in line

And I'd like to buy some of your time

I've been saving up my life

What's your price?

Chorus 2 Same as chorus 1

Middle

Fig.6 What should I do?

I'm about to crack

And there's a force

That comes over me

It's almost as if I'm tied to the tracks

And I'm waiting for him

To rescue me

The funny thing is

He's not going to come

He's going to find me

This is a matter of fact

The desire you lack

This is the way I guess it has to be...

Play Fig. 2 A little of your time

I need a little of your time

Please, a little of your time, yeah

Chorus 3 Same as chorus 1

Chorus 4

Fig.5 Ooh, I'm in line to buy time

I'm in line to buy time

I'm in line to

I'm in line to, excuse me

Well I've been waiting in line

Excuse me, excuse me Mr.

End with note F on string B fret 6.
