WIPE THE CLOCK
**************

(Jay Farrar)

INTRO: HARMONICA SOLO
(same chords as a verse)

VERSE 1:
G D
Hunted down
G D/F#
Someone said no story, no gain
Em7 Bm D5add9
Wipe the clock right now
D/F# D
I despise what you crave


VERSE 2:
G D
I remember you
G D/F#
When you wore a different face
Em7 Bm D5add9
Never heard a story of anyone
D/F# D
Who drove the black town insane

VERSE 3:
G D
Leaning on a stoplight
G D/F#
Waiting for eventual change
Em7 Bm D5add9
Once it mattered right now
D/F# D
It's not so easy to gauge

VERSE 4:
G D
Every time
G D/F#
That you ask for more
Em7 Bm D5add9
It's the sound that makes the colors go blind
D/F# D
[no words on last line of this verse]


CHORUS:
G Em7 Asus
And everything comes in threes
Em7 Asus
But your face shows two
Em7 Asus
Lost in the watershed
D
Way out of tune


HARMONICA SOLO
(same chords as a verse)

VERSE:
G D
Ain't it hard
G D/F#
When the spirit doesn't catch you
Em7 Bm D5add9
Gravity's the winner, And it weighs you down
D/F# D
It weighs you down

HARMONICA SOLO
(same chords as a verse; end on D)
