[Verse 1]
E                                         A    E
  You would think that keeping up would be easier
E                                  A              E
  Living large and living straight, bend yourself
E                                   A          E
  Summertime it always seems to come creeping up
E             A           E
  Keep in mind I wanted to


[Pre-Chorus 1]
                      F#m
You’re cold and you’re tired
                      E
You’re hurt and you’re sad
                   F#m
For all that you’ve given
                   E
For all that you’ve had


[Chorus 1]
                 B
It’s not what you think it is
                  A
It’s not what you think it is
                  E
It’s not what you think it is


[Verse 2]
E                                              A
  You would think that living large and living well
                                                      E
Well’ll wear you down and wear you thin and where you gone
                                                     
And don’t you know that I’m grumpy when the time is right
 
And time is on my side

E
Baby you could fix me up 
               A
I could do the same for you and maybe sometime soon
E                                               
We can spend some time alone to talk about the things

We should talk about

E
Tell me about the time when everything’s a mess
A
Tell me about the time, I haven’t heard it yet
E
  ‘bout the time, tell me ‘bout the time, tell me ‘bout the time
             A         E
Cause all you need is time


[Pre-Chorus 2]
                      F#m
You’re cold and you’re tired
                  E
Things just aren’t well
                   F#m
You’re frightful of strangers
              E
Scared of yourself


[Chorus 2]
                 B
It’s not what you think it is
                  A
It’s not what you think it is
                  E
It’s not what you think it is

[Bridge]
E                       A                       E
  Well you’re strung out when there’s hell to pay
E                        A                  E
  When you’re holding out for some better day


[Pre-Chorus 3]
                    F#m
And your feet are inspired
                        E
When you need some fresh air
                     F#m
When your finger’s on fire
            E
Release it all there


[Chorus 3]
                 B
It’s not what you think it is
                  A
It’s not what you think it might be now
                  E
It’s not what you think it is

No no, no no
   E 
No no
