The translation code is this:

    A   A#   B   C   C#   D   D#   E   F   F#   G    G#
    La  La#  Si  Do  Do#  Re  Re#  Mi  Fa  Fa#  Sol  Sol#

When you find a chord with a number (i.e. Do6) you must add the note
(in this example the 6TH of C, that is A) at the three note of the
C chord. Then it will be like a  Am with C bass.


I remembered it all, finally! Dunno the writing credits...

Lyrics (Con't):

After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering
If I'm OK
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
