Verse 1:

AbAb
I had a farmhouse
F minorFm
With a grandfather clock
AbAb           F minorFm
Where I would teach time to my son
AbAb
Our lessons began
  F minorFm
At twelve o'clock sharp
     AbAb  DbDb        Eb MajorEb
When the hands would come in as one

Verse 2:

       BB        GbGb
I'd say "The big hands count minutes,
   BB     Dbm7Dbm7
it's so tightly wound
  GbGb                   AbAb   DbDb
It chases the small hand, to make hours go round"

Pre-chorus:

AbAb     F minorFm
I taught Thomas

Constellations in the sky
    AbAb    DbDb     Eb MajorEb
To tell a silver maple from a cottonwood
 AbAb   F minorFm
I taught Thomas

To divide and multiply
AbAb         Eb MajorEb
But what he never understood was

Chorus:

GbGb
Time, as I watched him grow
DbDb
Time, he would never know
AbAb            DbDb
Time, where my regret resides
GbGb
Time, if I only knew
DbDb
The what and how and who
          Eb MajorEb C minorCm AbAb F minorFm
That time truly divides

Verse 3:

AbAb
There was a farmhouse
F minorFm
With a grandfather clock
AbAb            F minorFm
Where one day I woke up alone
AbAb
They feared I was magic
F minorFm
They feared I was cursed
AbAb
But mostly they feared the unknown

Verse 4:

Bb majorBb
The big hand's the father
           DbDb
The small hand's the son
     Bb majorBb  BbmBbm  Eb MajorEb
And there never came a time
            AbAb F minorFm
When they came back as one


AbAb           F minorFm
I taught Thomas how to catch a firefly
    AbAb       DbDb       Eb MajorEb
How to make a pebble skip and rowboat skim
AbAb         F minorFm
She took Thomas and never said goodbye
AbAb          DbDb      Eb MajorEb
The one thing I could never give to him

Chorus:
  DbDb  AbAb
Was time
DbDb  Eb MajorEb
Time
AbAb  BbmBbm Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
I'm left with nothing
      AbAb F minorFm
Nothing but time

AbAb F minorFm
