If I Had My Time Again From Groundhog Day

B                                            G#m
  Sometimes, it's like I'm stumbling forward
G#m
Hustled forward
               F#
Jostled from behind by time

B
Sometimes, it's like I'm being dragged
    G#m
Yet always lagging
                  F#
Trying to keep in time with time

[PD  CHORUS]

G                 E
   But if I could stop the clock for just one day
   F#      G#m
If I could freeze a moment for a moment
F#
Rest before the measure's over
E
Hold the beat for just one day
           G
If I could wind it back and start afresh
A
Just a day to catch my breath
   B
To make mistakes and set them right
  G#m                         G
Delay the coming of the night

[VERSE]

B                    D#
  If I had my time again
                        G#m
I would do it all the same
                F#
You'll say, but that's insane
E
  Wouldn't you want to make a couple of changes? (Bass notes - E B F# C#)
  B                          D#
Regrets, I'd not even have a few
                              G#
If I could do this thing that you
            C#
Say you can do.
E                                       B
  I've always dreamt of learning how to dance (Some days I go out without pants)
A
  It's so exciting (I slept with ninety)
F#
  A new beginning (Percent of women)
E
  Every morning (In Punxsutawney)
B                                    C#m           F#              G
  To have the time to strive for more (Between eighteen and eighty-four)
         F#m             Bm
(And one dude when I was bored)

[CHORUS]

Bm     G             D     F#
  If I had my time again
Bm             G
  I'd take the path less trodden
D           F#
  Avoid the crap I trod in
G
Read a lot of books (I've stolen eighteen million bucks)
                  D                 A
And I would worry less about my nose (And I guess I'll do it again)
            F#            Bm
And I would be a lot more zen (When)
            G              D
And I would punch a lot of men (I had)
     A             Bm
If I had my time again

[VERSE]

B                    D#
  If I had my time again
                        G#m
I would do it all the same
                F#
You'll say, 'but that's ridiculous
E
  Surely you'd wanna make a couple of fixes? (Bass notes - E B F# C#)
  B                    D#
All those boxes left unchecked
                            G#
All those dreams you left neglected
                         C#
You'd go back and put it right!'
E                                     B
  I've always fancied learning how to climb (I once masturbated seven times)
          C#m
I'd study math (in the bath)
               F#
And search for meaning (in one evening)
E
  And I'd run up hills (it wasn't fun but still)
B
  And learn to paint (a man my age)
C#m     F#     G
Just to know I can (It's nice to know I can)
      A              Bm
(It's nice to know I can!)

[CHORUS]

Bm     G             D   F#
  If I had my time again
Bm           G
  I'd sample all the samples
D                     F#
  Look at things from different angles
G                           A
  I would not do it all the same
                 Bm
If I had my time again

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Bm G D A

Em G Em G

D G A

[CHORUS]

Bm     G           D     F#
  If I had my time again
Bm               G
  The things I'd handle better
D               F#
I would send my unsent letters

[BRIDGE]

G
I've started seven hundred fights, and if you knew the endless nights (If I had my time back)
                           D
That I have wasted getting wasted contemplating different ways to suicide (I would write and I 
would write)
                       G
And I have tried every food and every drink (And I would add joy to other people's lives)
G
and every cheat and every choice a thousand times (and I would learn piano)
      D                                               A
And I daily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know why
                 F#
and I don't know... why
Bm            D             G
  And I would make a lot of friends
     D
If I had my time

[CHORUS]

C#m    A           E     G#
  If I had my time again
C#m        A                  E              B
  I'd open all the doors I've never looked behind before
    A                                       B
And oh, the things I'd taste, the things I'd try (I find the thing with these revolving rides)
A                        B
  And the misery I could prevent (They're only fun 'cause you know they're gonna end)
F#m           G#m           A
  And I would make a lot of friends
     B            E      F#m
If I had my time again (again)
          E                A            E
(But I've had it, but I've had my time again!)
