♫ Intro:

E G




♫ Verse :

E                      G
You turn the hourglass round and round
   E
Pretending that your
              G
world’s still safe and sound
    C                              C#m
You smile, your back’s against the wall
        C
And you try so hard to turn a
D

blind eye to it all
      E                  G       D/F#
We’re all supposed to be someone else
      E                    G         D/F#
We’re all supposed to feel something else
     D                            A
They say a little rain has got to fall


♫ Chorus:

          E/G#              G
But there must be something more
     D                     E
It’s slipping through your hands
E/G#            G
Feel it in your fingertips
D                 E
This could be the end
    E/G#            G
And waiting for the dawn
D                E
Won’t clear your sight
E/G#                  G
Breaking clocks won’t change a thing
D                 E       E/G# G D E
And it won’t stop time go by
E/G# G D E

♫ Verse :


     E              G       D/F#
Am I supposed to be someone else?
     E                G         D/F#
Am I supposed to feel something else?
    E
I refuse your shell but

I’ll get nowhere
A
Throwing punches in the air

          E/G#              G
But there must be something more
     D                     E
It’s slipping through your hands
E/G#            G
Feel it in your fingertips
D                 E
This could be the end
    E/G#            G
And waiting for the dawn

Won’t clear your sight

♫ Bridge:

                             C
We shouldn’t take it all for granted
             A
So afraid of losing ground

Don’t you think it’s time to
         C
pull the trigger

To break the cycle
C#m
turn it all around
                          C
I hear it ticking but I’m helpless
                      A
The sands are finally running out
                                 C
And I know it’s time to pull the trigger
                    C#m
To break the cycle, turn it all around


♫ Chorus:


             E/G#  G D E
Turn it all around
E/G#            G
Feel it in your fingertips
D                 E
This could be the end
    E/G#            G
And waiting for the dawn
D                E
Won’t clear your sight
E/G#                  G
Breaking clocks won’t change a thing
D                 E       E/G# G
And it won’t stop time go by
   D E E/G# G
Go by
     D                     E
It’s slipping through your hands
E/G#                  G
Breaking clocks won’t change a thing
D                 E
And it won’t stop time go by
E/G#                  G
Breaking clocks won’t change a thing
D                 E       E/G# G
And it won’t stop time go by
