(tabbed by Paul D ,

 and Paul Hutchinson )

(intro): |D  Em  |  x4

D Em D Em       D       Em D Em
Time__,  why you punish me
Like a wave crashing into the shore 
You wash away my dreams
Time__,  why you walk away
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying

           Asus2
   Can you teach me about tommorow
       G                      D    Em       D  Em
   and all the pain and sorrow, running free
           Em                       Asus A
   Cause tomorrow's just another day
                          D    Em  etc
   And I don't believe in time

Time__,  I don't understand
Chidren killing in the streets
Dying for the color of a rag
Time__,  hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean make them clean
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight

   Will you teach me about tommorow
   When all the pain and sorrow, running free
   But tomorrow's just another day
   And I don't believe in 

      D              
      Time is wasting
        Em
      Time is walking
     D             Em      
      You ain't no friend of mine
     D             Em
      I don't know where I'm going
     D          Em        A    G
      Think I'm out of my mind
                     D    Em   D    Em
      Thinking about time
    Em                  Asus
      If I die tomorrow yeah
           A              D    Em   D    Em
      just lay me down to sleep

Solo: |Bm  A  |G     |Bm  A  |D  G  |A  G  |A  G  |A  G  |

      Time is wasting 
      Time is walking   
      You ain't no friend of mine
      I don't know where I'm going
      Think I'm out of my mind
      Thinking about time
	
Time__,  you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time__,  the past has come and gone
The future's far away
But now only lasts for one second, one second

   Can you teach me about tommorow
   And all the pain and sorrow, running free
   Cause tommorow's just another day
   And I don't believe in 

      Time is wasting
      Time is walking  
      You ain't no friend of mine
      I don't know where I'm going
      Think I'm out of my mind     {keep playing Ds and Ems}
      Walking, wasted
      You ain't no friend of mine	
      I don't know where I'm going
                   A                        G
      Oh no, no, no, Do without courage and ???
                D     Em       D       Em
      It's just wasted, wasted, wasted time
    Em    Asus A
      Oh..

D  Em  D  Em  D  Em  D  Em 
           Ooo............
D Em D Em       D       Em   D
Time__,  why you punish me?

Chords: D-xx0232  Em-022033(technically Em7)  A-x02220  
        G-320033  Asus-x02230  Bm-x24432  Asus2-x02200
................

The following is the riff played (twice at the start as an intro, and then
throughout the verse) by two semi-clean electric guitars 
  +     +     +     +	    +     +     +     +

The bridge ("Can you teach me about tomorrow..") goes along these lines
  +   +   +   +	    +   +   +   +

Then the main riff again, followed by
  +   +   +   +	    +   +   +   +

At this point an acoustic guitar enters strumming the chords. From this 
point on, one of the electrics plays the riff during the verses, the part
shown above during the bridges, and strums the chords during the choruses 
("Time is wasting..") and solo. The second electric plays the occasional 
power chord during verses and bridges and strums along to the choruses.
It also takes the solo:
  +   +   +   +	    +       +   +   +     +   +   +   +

At the end of the last chorus, the second guitar drops out; the acoustic
and the first electric play the main riff in unison to the end, finishing
with an open D chord.
