Give me time to reason,
         F                 Fm    Cm
give me time to think it through
                                      F      Fm G#
Passing through the season, where I cheated you
                      A#
I will always have a cross to wear,
         Cm
but the bolt reminds me I was there
    Fm                   Fm6              Gsus4 G
So give me strength, to face this test of mine

Chorus:
                 G#        A#
If only I could turn back time, if only
       G#                A#
I had said what I still hide
                 Fm       Gm
If only I could turn back time,
         G#          A#sus4 A#      Cm
I would stay for the night For the night

Claim your right to science
Claim your right to see the truth
Though my pangs of conscience
Will drill a hole in you

I seen it coming like a thief in the night
I seen it coming from the flash of your light
So give me strength to face this test tonight

Chorus:
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay

    Cm                         C#
The bolt reminds me I was there.
    Cm
The bolt reminds me I was there

Chorus:
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
If only I could turn back time
If only I had said what I still hide
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night

If only I could (If only I could)
If only I could (If only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could (If only I could, if only I could)
If only I could turn back time
I would stay for the night
