Counting Out Time

(Ab) (Ab/G) (Fm7) 
I‘m counting out time, 
(Ab/Eb) (C#7)+ 
Got the whole thing down by numbers. 
(Ab/C) (Bb) 
All those numbers! Give me guidance! 
(Eb7) (Ab) 
O Lord I need that now. 
(Ab/G) (Fm7) 
The day of judgement‘s come, 
(Ab/Eb) (C#7)+ 
And you can bet that I‘ve been resting, 
(Ab/C) (Bb) 
for this testing, digesting every 
(Eb7) (Ab) 
word the experts say. 
 
(F#) (C#/F) (Ab/Eb) 
Erogenous zones I love you. 
(B) (F#/Bb) (Ab7) 
Without you, what would a poor boy do? 
 
(Ab7) 
Found a girl I wanted to date, 
Thought I‘d better get it straight. 
Went to buy a book before it‘s too late. 
Don‘t leave nothing to fate. 
 
(Ab7/Eb) (Bb7) (C#) 
I studied every line, every page in the book, 
(D) (D/C) (Bb) 
Now, I‘ve got the real thing here, I‘m gonna take a look, take a look. 
 
(Ab) (Ab/G) (Fm7) 
I‘m counting out time, 
(Ab/Eb) (C#7)+ 
hoping it goes like I planned it, 
(Ab/C) 
‘cos I understand it. 
(Bb) (Eb7) (Ab) 
Look! I‘ve found the hotspots, Figures one to nine. 
(Ab/G) (Fm7) 
still counting out time, 
(Ab/Eb) (C#7)+ 
got my finger on the button, 
(Ab/C) (Bb) 
"Don‘t say nothin‘ - just lie there still 
(Eb7) (Ab) 
And I‘ll get you turned on just fine." 
 
(F#) (C#/F) (Ab/Eb) 
Erogenous zones I love you. 
(B) (F#/Bb) (Ab7) 
Without you, what would a poor boy do? 
 
(Ab7) 
Touch and go with 1-6. 
Bit of trouble in zone No. 7. 
Gotta remember all of my tricks. 
There‘s heaven ahead in No. 11! 
 
(Ab7/Eb) (Bb7) (C#) 
Getting crucial responses, dilation of the pupils. 
(D) (D/C) (Bb) 
"Honey get hip! It‘s time to unzip, 
to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip. Whipee!" 
 
( (Ab) (Ab/G) (Fm7) (Ab/Eb) (C#7)+ (Ab/C) (Bb) (Eb7) (Ab) ) 2x 
 
(Ab) (Ab/G) (Fm7) 
I‘m counting out time, 
(Ab/Eb) (C#7)+ 
reaction none to happy, 
(Ab/C) 
Please don‘t slap me, 
(Bb) (Eb7) (Ab) 
I‘m a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail. 
(Ab/G) (Fm7) 
I‘m counting out time, 
(Ab/Eb) (C#7)+ 
I got unexpected distress 
(Ab/C) 
from my mistress, 
(Bb) (Eb7) (Ab) 
I‘ll get my money back from the bookstore right away. 
 
(F#) (C#/F) (Ab/Eb) 
Erongenous zones I question you 
(B) (F#/Bb) (Ab) 
Without you, what would a poor boy do? 
(B) (F#/Bb) (Ab) 
Without you, what would a poor boy do? 
(B) (F#/Bb) (Ab) (C#m) 
Without you, mankind handkinds thru‘ the blues.
