Gm                   Cm
What an amazing time,  what a family
F                      A#  F           Gm
How did the years go by? Now it's only me

Gm
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
A#              F
La, la, la, la, la, la, laaaa

Gm
Like a cat in heat, stuck in a moving car
A scary conversation,
shut my eyes, can't find the brake
     A#                F
What if they say that you're a cloner
Gm
Naturally, I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares,
cause it's your life you never know,
it could be great
A#                   F
Take a chance cause you might grow
Gm
Oh, ah, oh

Chorus:
A#                          C
What you waiting, what you waiting,
                           Gm
what you waiting, what you waiting
What you waiting for
A#                          D
What you waiting, what you waiting,
                            Gm
what you waiting, what you waiting
What you waiting for

Gm
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock
A#                 F
Take a chance you stupid hoe

Like an echo pedal, you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart,
why are you standing in one place? (Uh-huh)
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
Your moment will run out
'cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up how our society all thinks
(For sure)
Life is short, you're capable (Uh-huh)
Oh, oh-oh

Look at your watch now
You're still a super-hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track!

Chorus

Gm
I can't wait to go back and do Japan
Get me lots of brand new fans
Osaka, Tokyo
You Harajuku girls
Damn, you've got some wicked style go!

Look at your watch now
You're still a super-hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track!

Chorus

What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Take a chance, you stupid ho
Take a chance, you stupid ho
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Take a chance, you stupid ho
Take a chance, you stupid ho
