[x2]
VERSE 1: ([Bm] + [A] pattern)
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you.
Caught up in circles; Confusion is nothing new.
[D] Flash-
[E]-backs,
[C#m] warm
[D] nights.
[D] Almost
[E] left
[C#m] behind
[D] Suit-
[E]-case of
[C#m] memo-
[D]-ries;
VERSE 2:
Time after sometimes you picture me; I'm walking too far ahead.
You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said.
Then you say go slow, I fall behind. The second hand unwinds.
CHORUS:
If you're
[E] lost you can
[E/G#] look and you
[F#m7] will find me.
[D] Time after
[A] time
If you
[E] fall I will
[E/G#] catch you I'll
[F#m7] be waiting.
[D] Time after
[A] time
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [*R1 x2]
VERSE 3:
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey.
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm ok.
Secrets stolen from deep inside; The drum beats out of time.
REPEAT CHORUS:
You said go slow I fall behind; The second hand unwinds.
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[D] Time after
[A] time
[D] Time after
[A] time
[D] Time after
[A] time
