The Time Machine - Collin Raye
(Gary Burr)

G Bm Em C D C G

   G           Bm
He circled and stared
Em          C 
nervous and scared
   G                             D
he knew both the thrill and the cost
        G            Bm
but he didnât think twice
      Em       C
this amazing device
        Am                         D
was his last chance to see what heâd lost
       C                 D
now if time is really a river
       G                           C
and upstreamâs where he needed to be
           G             C
he set his sights on the past
    G    Bm      Em
and finished his glass
    D            C     G
and went back in history

       C                  D
To the casual eye it's a barstool
         G           Bm          C
but it's really much more than it seems
  G               C
a few drinks and then
           G        Em
she'll be with him again
       D           C      G
as he sits on the time machine

Bm Em C

     G       Bm
Like all pioneers
   Em           C
he swallowed his fears
    G
and watched the whole room
        D 	
fade to black
     G        Bm
he's dying to go

         Em         C
but he's no fool, he knows
    Am                     D
how hard it will be to come back
      C                        D
but tonight he's tired of the lonely
      G                       C
and tomorrow will not be the cure
         G             C
so he'll just slip away 
G    Bm     Em
find yesterday
    D              C          G
and spend one more night with her

       C                         Bm
Now as far as the customers can tell
          D                  G
he's just one more fool who talks to himself
>          C                            Bm
but every man in this place would line up
        Em   		            D
if they knew what that seat really was

           C                 D
But to the casual eye it's a barstool
         G           Bm          C	
but it's really much more than it seems
       G               C
just a few drinks and then
           G         Em 
she'll be with him again
       D           C      G
as he sits on the time machine

        G                 C
Just a few drinks and then
          G          Em
she'll be with him again
       D          C       G
as he sits on the time machine

Bm Em C D C G
