G#m
Here in my house, time is sweet
I hear the children playing in the street
Out where the hot winds blowing gentle breeze

Chorus:
B                          G#m
I don't need time, I don't need time,
   F#              E
no I can get by myself.
B                          G#m
I don't need time, I don't know why,
     F#                  D#
the summer wind did not tell.
    G#m                  F#
I scramble online and I know that
        E
I will never be common will.
                         F#           G#m
But I can get by in the meantime by myself

He's a real winner, all over they say
Sleeping in the lazy afternoon
A danger to their daughters they assume

Chorus

C#                      G#m D#
Deal me a crippling blow!
 C#                           G#m D#
Steal me from under my clothes!
              G#m
A crippling blow!

Chorus:
I don't need time, I don't need time
No, I can get by myself
I don't need time, I don't know why
The summer wind did not tell
I scramble on line and I know that I
Will never be calm and well
But I can get by in the meantime by myself
Lord I can get by in the meantime by myself

I can get by in the meantime by myself
