[verse - riff 1 (x4)]
Don't think you could stop it now
I'd like to see you try somehow
Realize that it puts it all on you
There's nothing you can do
[chorus]
Am7 C
Right now you're sick and tired
G D (0h2 on e-string)
You're feeling sad, you're feeling uninspired
Am7 C
But the clock just won't slow down
G D (0h2 on e-string)
Like it gets its kicks pushing you around, you around
[interlude - riff 1 (x2)]
[verse - riff 1 (x2)]
Maybe in the morning it won't be
Quite as bad as it seems
[chorus]
Am7 C
But the fact that you can't change
G D (0h2 on e-string)
The speed of sound, the rate of age
Am7 C
Is an understatement to
G D (0h2 on e-string)
A state of mind your not used to, used to
[bridge]
Am C/B C D (0h2 on e-string)
You'd be forever known
Am C/B C
As the boy who stopped the world
D (0h2 on e-string)
And made his own
[outro-verse (fingerpick chorus chords lightly)]
Am7 C
Right now you're sick and tired
G D (0h2 on e-string)
You're feeling sad. feeling uninspired
Am7 C
So I pray for you my friend
G D
That you'll fall down, you'll give in
[outro - riff 1 (x4)]
You'll give in
