Chorus:
B               F#                         E
This wrinkle in time, I can't give it no credit
E                   F#          B             F#
I thought about my space and I really got me down
(got me down)
B         F#                E
Got me so down, I got me a headache
E                          F#
My heart is crammed in my cranium and
     B                 F#
it still knows how to pound

E                  F#
I was counting the rings
G#            A
And I fell me into sleep
A            B     C#       D#         E
I peeked to see if you were way back when
E                   F#
I was counting the trees
G#                 A
Until a day when there was one
             B       C#
I'd hoped beneath, asleep is
  D#                E  D#
where that you had been

Chorus:
This wrinkle in time, can't give it no credit
(Credit)
I thought about my space, and I really got me down
(Got me down)
I got me so down, I got me a headache
(Headache)
My heart's crammed in my cranium,
and it still knows how to pound

A              E
Well, I found you
A     G#      F#
Maybe you can help me
                B G#
And I can help you

Chorus:
This wrinkle in time, can't give it no credit
(Credit)
I thought about my space, and I really got me down
(Got me down)
I got me so down, I got me a headache (Headache)
My heart's crammed in my cranium,
and it still knows how to pound (How it pounds)

I got me so down, I got me a headache (Headache)
My heart is crammed in my cranium,
and it still knows how to pound (How it pounds)
This wrinkle in time, I can't give it no credit
(Credit)
I thought about my space, and I really got me down
(Got me down)
