          A    G        F#m F E
You're a voice on the street
You're the faces that I meet
           F#m              E
All day my life is keeping time
                D#m7-5
Time with your heartbeat
 D                              A
Time with your heartbeat every day

It's no use to run and hide
You'll be running running running by my side
All day my life is keeping time
Time with your heartbeat
Time with your heartbeat every day

       D
Like children we have laughed
And played the game you and me
A/C#
But have you seen me cry?
E                               D
Once I believe I saw you dying yet you still remain
To me the same mystery
       A/C# E
Only closer
       F#m D       A
Much closer to my heart

And so you see
I couldn't let you
Leave me be
All day my life is keeping time
Time with your heartbeat
Time with your heartbeat every day
All day my life ahhh
Is keeping time
Time with your heartbeat
Time with your heartbeat every day
