Introduction:
C Em
The window slams shut at about half past six
F
The wind has pushed it down
Dm
As I'm staring at the ground
C Em F G
And I&rsquo m aware that I&rsquo m not falling back asleep today
C Dm
But the flyers blew away
F G
Flying through a smog filled sky
C Cm G
And now the clocks are ticking fast
C Dm
Water from a hose
F
Pouring down the road
G
Rest easy my friend
C Em F G
There&rsquo s an unlit match I left in the corner of the room
C
Picking up the match and
Em F G
Lighting it to walk through the dark
C Em F G
And open up the door to the world outside
C Dm
But the water level rose
F G C Dm F G
Submerging a patch of grass that had plans to grow tall
C Cm G
And now the clocks are ticking fast
C Dm
Birds sit on a wire
F G
Chirping the most unpleasant tunes
C Am
I've heard millions of times before
F G C
And now the clocks are ticking fast
F G C
And the clocks are ticking fast
