Ab Fm Ab Fm

Verse 1:

Ab
I had a farmhouse
Fm
With a grandfather clock
Ab                      Fm
Where I would teach time to my son
Ab
Our lessons began
   Fm
At twelve o'clock sharp
         Ab    Db               Eb
When the hands would come in as one

Verse 2:

             B               Gb
I'd say "The big hands count minutes,
     B          Dbm7
it's so tightly wound
   Gb                                      Ab      Db
It chases the small hand, to make hours go round"

Pre-chorus:

Ab          Fm
I taught Thomas

Constellations in the sky
        Ab        Db          Eb
To tell a silver maple from a cottonwood
 Ab      Fm
I taught Thomas

To divide and multiply
Ab                  Eb
But what he never understood was

Chorus:

Gb
Time, as I watched him grow
Db
Time, he would never know
Ab                       Db
Time, where my regret resides
Gb
Time, if I only knew
Db
The what and how and who
                   Eb Cm Ab Fm
That time truly divides

Verse 3:

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

Verse 4:

Bb
The big hand's the father
                     Db
The small hand's the son
          Bb    Bbm    Eb
And there never came a time
                        Ab Fm
When they came back as one


Ab                     Fm
I taught Thomas how to catch a firefly
       Ab              Db              Eb
How to make a pebble skip and rowboat skim
Ab                  Fm
She took Thomas and never said goodbye
Ab                    Db            Eb
The one thing I could never give to him

Chorus:
    Db   Ab
Was time
Db   Eb
Time
Ab   Bbm  Bb   Eb
I'm left with nothing
            Ab Fm
Nothing but time

Ab Fm
