INTRO: [D#] [F] [Dm] [D#] :
[x2]
VERSE 1: ([Cm] + [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-
[F]-backs,
[Dm] warm
[D#] nights.
[D#] Almost
[F] left
[Dm] behind
[D#] Suit-
[F]-case of
[Dm] 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
[F] lost you can
[F/A] look and you
[Gm7] will find me.
[D#] Time after
[A#] time
If you
[F] fall I will
[F/A] catch you I'll
[Gm7] 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
