C          D           Bm        C
Take off, both your, shoes and clothes, I'll follow.
Undo, corkscrew, drink from the top of a broken bottle
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?

Smoking, often, and calling out our guilty pleasures
Let's keep, talking, anything to stop clockwatching
Lately we're running out of time, aren't we?
Crazy for running all the time, m-m-m-m-maybe.

C                   D              G
Let's forget we're running out of time.

Chorus:
G               D   Am
I'm off like an aeroplane,
G                 D             Am
I'm licking your postage stamp again.
G             D                   Am
I'm using my right brain and I'm praying the weight will crash.
A#            C       G
Who knew I'd come so fast.
A#                 C                    G
Well so what if a two pump chump can't last.
A#                C            G
But I made it to three, and I foreclose a five minute, fantasy.
A#                        C
I'll surely fight making love on economy.

No jumping, conclusions
I don't think there's no solution
Let's get, backwards
And forget our restless destination
Let's live in this moment just this time, could we?
Just take one moment of our time m-m-m-m-maybe
Let's forget we running out of time

Chorus:
I'm off like an aeroplane
I'm catching my second wind again
I'm using my left brain
And I'm righting all my wrongs
I'm yearning to turn you on
I've been working on getting you off, so get on board
Well how can I guess by the subject of the best predicate
that's left unsaid when the matter is too delicate
My loneliness is evident

And it's you
You're running through my mind and it makes me
c-c-crazy cra-cra-crazy

La la la
La la la la la
La la la (Ooooooo, so amazing)
La la la la la la
La la la
Laaaa oh oh
Laaaaaa lo oh oh oh

Lady, dreamer, you might be the soundest sleeper
Tonight, sleep tight, and build your nest upon my shoulder
