C                            Am/F
I'm the one, the one with the coded knock

C                        G        Am/F
The phone rings twice so you call back

Am/F            C
Our expressions aren't in view

       Dm         C          Am/F    Am
And we thing that they don't know

   Dm         C    Am/F  C
We think that they don't know

C                        Am/F
I'm the one, the one you keep inside

C                          G        Am/F
Your friends ask twice but you hold back

Am/F          C
I'm your only secret now

            Dm            C    Am/F   Am
But I'm the best that you ever had

    Dm       C    Am/F   C
The best you ever had


       (C     D   E)  F    C
You can leave on your porchlight

    (C    B    A)  Am
And I'll know it's all right

    (C     D    E)  F    C
But don't draw your shades

      (C  B A)  Bb/F  F
Cause you never know

              Em/G
If you see my brake lights

              Dm  Am
Plan to be up all night

    F        C        F        C
The clock is set, the buzzer's on

   F       C        F       C
To be sure I'm long gone by dawn

   F        C          F        C
No one will see the disgrace of me

C         Gmaj           Bbmaj7         C
Just this once would you please take it slow


You're the one, the one whose life is torn When the wishbone splits I come up short
But you, you keep both parts And you think that you've got it made
You think you've got it made You're the one, the one who holds the strings
You deal me time but I come up short You spare your time like change
But I'm the best time you've ever had The best you ever had

CHORUS

We're the ones, the ones who hear a knock
Two masters call, no answer back
We're the ones whose time has come
And it's time to answer back
It's time to answer back

You can turn off your porchlight
And just know it's all right
You can draw your shade
The answer is no
You won't see my brake lights
I bid you a sweet goodnight
Don't set your clock
Don't turn the buzzer on
You can sleep in late through dawn
You won't see the prize of me
There's one soul left to please
I'm not gonna show
