• Difficulty: Beginner

Key: G

♫ Intro:

G




♫ Verse 1:
G                                 Em
I'm just sitting counting all the cobwebs
    Am                               D
And wondering just when you'll come along
    F                                Em
You said that you'd be here an hour ago
       Am                    D
But an hour ago is hours ago from then

♫ Chorus:
G   A     C                  G
No, and I don't know what to do
    C                            G
I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe
        C           G         Am       D  C
And the sand in the hourglass slips on by


♫ Verse 2:
G                        Em
Light another cigarette, watch the burning glow
         Am                      C             D
Catching spiders in my hand, and then I let it go
F                             Em
Imagine pictures on the wall, watch the insects where they crawl
Am                                 D
They don't care about you and I've nothing to do


♫ Chorus:
G   A     C                  G
No, and I don't know what to do
    C                            G
I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe
        C           G         Am       D  D7
And the sand in the hourglass slips on by


♫ Verse 3:
G                    Em
Maybe the bus didn't get there on time
F                       G                    Em
Maybe the train doesn't run on that line for some reason
        G         C
And she might not come
  G                                  D
Because she doesn't want to see you again
F     C                 G
No no no, that can't be true
A                       D
And I've got nothing to do


♫ Chorus:
G   A        C          G
No
I've got nothing to do
    C                            G
I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe
        C           G         Am    C  D
And the sand in the hourglass slips on by
