Laura Marling - The Captain and The Hourglass
Capo: 1st Fret
Intro - Em
G Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
G Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
D Em
If I feel God judging me,
D Em
Well I fell into the water, and now I�m free.
Em
My friends they don�t really get me,
think I�m the only one
G D C Em
Well i sold my soul to Jesus and since then ive had no fun
Em
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
G D C Em
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.
Em D
He�ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em D
He�ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don�t hear so well.
D
You�re gonna have to curse him,
Em
Well you�re gonna have to yell.
Em
The sky and I, we�ve had our fights and I�m coming round to rain,
G D
If the rain come round and don�t go out,
C Em
and I�ll never have to speak again,
Em D
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em D
Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em
The captains got his boots on and he�s heading out the door,
D Em
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don�t love me no more."
Em
He�s done with all this bullshit,
He�s going back to war,
G D
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
C Em
then this is Hell for sure...
Em D
And he�ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em D
He�ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
G Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
G Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
D Em
If I feel God judging me,
D Em
Well I fell into the water, now I�m free.
