all i got is a pool key, but it lets me in
B5                                                     E5               B5

and you can tell me it's still great to come by and chat
B5                                           E5                     B5

B5                             E5        B5
let's not misuse the time from noon 'til two
E5                  A5

          C#5       D5
there's no starting over to do
        C#5 D5                  E5  
there's no, there's no starting over
