Am | |||
When I was away I needed you so | |||
Em | |||
And now I'm coming home to stay | |||
Am | |||
I won't wake in the night and reach for you | |||
Em | |||
And turn on the light and to my dismay | |||
Am | |||
You're not there | |||
You're never around | |||
Em | |||
Or is it me? | |||
It's so hard to see | |||
Am | |||
I flick off the switch | |||
And stare in dark | |||
Em | |||
And wait for you to appear | |||
Am | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
/G | |||
I'm out of control | |||
/F# | |||
It's broken my mind | |||
/F | |||
But that's not all that you stole | |||
Am | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
/G | |||
You're all I adore | |||
/F# /F | |||
I'd swear to it now it but I already swore | |||
Dm | |||
My eyes are blinded with tears | |||
Am | |||
But it's all my own fault | |||
Em | |||
My lips taste of cruel words | |||
Am | |||
My eyes sting with salt | |||
Dm | |||
But you can take the way I feel about you | |||
Am Am Am /G Am | |||
And put it in a vault | |||
Am | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
From near and from far | |||
I've known many a girl, | |||
Now... I'm closing in | |||
My heart is beating | |||
Like a whip on a hide | |||
It's raining outside | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
I'm out of control | |||
It's broken my mind | |||
That's not all that you stole | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
You're all I adore | |||
I'd swear to it now it but I already swore | |||
Every time I rant and rail | |||
Every time I try and fail | |||
Any time I want to quit | |||
And say, "That's the end of it" | |||
When I stand and start to leave | |||
You cool my brow, you tug my sleeve | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
I'm walking, I'm pacing, my heart is racing | |||
I swear that clock is running slow | |||
It only speeds up for a moment or so | |||
Each time it's time for me to go | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
I'm out of control | |||
It's broken my mind | |||
That's not all that you stole | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
You're all I adore | |||
I'd swear to it now it but I already swore | |||
In the far flung cry of a closing saloon | |||
On the blank back side of that poisonous moon | |||
I tried not to think about you | |||
I thought I was immune.. | |||
You're My All-Time Doll | |||
