Gm           F        C   A#
You've gone too far this time
       Gm  F           C    A#
But Im dancing on the valentine
Gm          F         C        A#
I tell you somebodys fooling around
         Gm  F          C     A#
With my chances on the dangerline
     Gm          F             C
Ill cross that bridge when I find it
  A#            Gm       F      C  A#
Another day to make my stand, oh..
Gm            F             C
High time is no time for deciding
   A#               Gm      F     C A#
If I should find a helping hand, oh..

  Am            G   F
So why dont you use it
 Am         G    F
Try not to bruse it
Am             G   F C F
Buy time dont lose it
Am               G  F
So why dont you use it
Am           G    F
Try not to bruse it
Am             G   F G
Buy time dont lose it

Chorus:
     D                            C              G
The reflex is an only child, hes waiting in the park
     D                               C              F
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
     D                         C            G
And watching over lucky clover isnt that bizarre
    D
And every little thing the reflex does
           C                         F
leaves you answered with a question mark

I'm on a ride, and I want to get off
But they won't slow down the roundabout
I sold the Renoir and TV set
Don't wanna be around when this gets out

So, why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time, don't lose it
Oh, why don't you use it?
Try not to bruise it
Buy time, don't lose it

Chorus
