🎸 Verse 1:
Am     C        F
 Are you telling me it's over
  G      Am        F      C  D
Disintegrating, lost, and there's nothing I can do?
Am      F      G
 Before you drop another verbal bomb

Can I arm myself with Cezanne's 16 shades of blue?

"You'll get over it," you say, "in time"

If the clocks are black

How we made it that
       Am   F  Em
Clocks are black


🎸 Verse 2:
Am       C     F     Em
 You say, "Get over it if 50 is the new black
  Am       F     Em   D
Hooray this could be your lucky day"
Am    C        F
 But my cables they are surging
    Em     Am   F      A  Am
Almost over- overloading as you disen-gage


🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
F      G        C      G
Could your heart be slowly ripping into pieces
   Am        G       F   G
Disconnecting from the circuits of your mind

"We’ll get over it," you say, "in time"

In time

How we made it that

Clocks are black


🎸 Bridge:
C    G   Am   G
"That's it you're done
 F
You've screwed up your life"
 Em       F
Before you've begun
C     Dm   C  F
There are those who say
          Em
I am now too old to play


🎸 Verse 3:
Am     G    F          E
 See over there at 33 she fears she'll lose her job
 Am          F        Em  G
Because they hear the ticking of her clock
Am    A      F     Em        Am
 At only 15 - I said 15 - they say her future's bleak
         F       Am
She should have started this at 3

"She’ll get over it," you say, "in time"
 F  G
In time?
   F G  F  G
Stop Father Time

How we made it that
       Am
Clocks are black
