Time Away chords by Arthur Russell

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'm taking time away to dream,
      A augmentedA            D MajorD
I'm taking time out to clean up my room,
      A augmentedA           E MajorE
And when I clean up, my room will gleam,
        A augmentedA            N.C.
Because dreams aren't as unreal as they seem.
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'm taking time away to dream,
      A augmentedA     E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm taking time out.

Verse 2:
    A augmentedA              E MajorE
Put my records in their covers and then
       A augmentedA           D MajorD
I'll put the albums back into their place,
     A augmentedA             E MajorE
And I'll sweep up this morning and when
       A augmentedA          D MajorD
I look at the clock, I see it says ten.
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'm taking time away to dream,
      A augmentedA     E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm taking time out.

Refrain:
    D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Well I just can't be sure any more,
D MajorD             A augmentedA D MajorD
I just can't be sure.
   D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
No, I just can't be sure any more,
 E MajorE
I just can't be sure.

Verse 3:
   A augmentedA           E MajorE
I'll pick up my pants even though
    A augmentedA            D MajorD
I might wear them, wear them today;
       A augmentedA         E MajorE
smooth out my covers on my bed so,
    A augmentedA                D MajorD
after I wash them I've got some place to go.
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'm taking time away to dream,
      A augmentedA     E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm taking time out.

Refrain:
    D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
Well I just can't be sure any more,
D MajorD             A augmentedA D MajorD
I just can't be sure.
   D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
No, I just can't be sure any more,
 E MajorE
I just can't be sure.

Verse 4:
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'm taking time away to dream,
      A augmentedA            D MajorD
I'm taking time out to clean up my room,
      A augmentedA           E MajorE
And when I clean up, my room will gleam,
        A augmentedA            D MajorD
Because dreams aren't as unreal as they seem.
      A augmentedA      E MajorE
I'm taking time away to dream,
      A augmentedA     E MajorE A augmentedA   A augmentedA     E MajorE A augmentedA
