Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

Words & Music:

Robert Lamm (Chicago)

 

D  Em7  F6  Em7  D  Em7  F6    Em7

 

G        F                BbM7          EbM7

As I was walking down the street one day,

  BbM7           EbM7            BbM7

A man came up to me and asked me what the time

EbM7           D  Em7  F6  Em7

That was on my watch--------, I said:

 

CHORUS:

GM7                  C                      GM7                 C

"Does anybody really know what time it is?  Does anybody really care?

If so, I can't imagine why.  We've all got time enough to cry."

 

D  Em7  F6  Em7

 

As I was walking down the street one day,

A pretty lady looked at me & said her diamond watch

Had stopped cold dead.  I said:

 

CHORUS:

 

As I was walking down the street one day,

Being pushed & shoved by people trying to beat the clock,

Oh, no, I just donŐt know-----  I said:

 

CHORUS:

 

D  Em7  F6  Em7  D
