RECKONING: TIME AFTER TIME (ANNELISE)

I don't know who AnnElise is, but I take it she likes clock towers.  I'm not sure what the song is about, but it is another triumph in my mind for the reason that I am writing this blog.  All over the internet, the last verse line says that Michael croons "We will fight if you want."  He is not saying this and it's not easy to hear what he is saying, but the internet is wrong ... and it is wrong everywhere.  The correct line is "We'll invite who you want."  There are little inconsistencies everywhere and I'm just here to fill the gaps ... half way through the album and it's cake from here ...

Time After Time (annElise)
Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower’s watch
If your friends take a fall are you obligated to follow?

Time after, time after time

When he pulls on his hose will you gather friends by the tower?
If you try to refuse will they judge your worth by the hour?

Time after, time after time
Time after, time after time

If you’re tired of your try, you can find me in my room.
And stay if you want, the third time you can lose.

Time after, time after time
Time after, time after

Ask the girl of the hour by the water tower’s watch
We’ll invite who you want, but who will turn out the lights?

Time after, time after time
Time after, time after time
Time after, time after time
Time after, time after

There is a capo on this one and online I've seen reports of 3 guitars, 2 of which are tuned differently.  But you can play it on two with the capo.  Guitar 2 shows up pretty much through the whole song.
