    Intro:  / G - - / Gsus4 - - / x4

     

    D                 G                C (2)

    Look to the clock on the wall

    C                    G           D (2)

    Hands hardly moving at all

        D                     G          C (2)

    I can't stand the state I'm in

      C                  G                  D              Em

    Sometimes it feels like the wall's closing in

     

    Chorus 1:

    C    G        D            Em           C         G              D              Em

    Oh Lord what can I say       I'm so sad since you went away

      C      G      D              Em       C         G              D                       Em

    Time, time, tickin on me      Alone is the last place I wanted to be

    C         D           Repeat Intro

    Lord what can I say

     

      D                       G             C (2)

    Try and burn my troubles away

       C             G                   D (2)

    Drown my sorrows same way

          D                      G                C (2)

    It seems no matter how hard I try

          C                      G                      D          Em

    It feels like there's something just missing inside

     

    Chorus 2:

    C    G        D            Em           C         G              D              Em

    Oh Lord what can I say       I'm so sad since you went away

      C      G      D              Em       C         G              D                      Em

    Time, time, tickin on me      Alone is the last place I wanted to be

    C         D           Em (2)                   C         D            Repeat Intro

    Lord what can I say            Oh, Lord, what can I say

     

      D             G                 C (2)

    How many rules can I break

      C             G              D (2)

    How many lies can I make

      D              G                 C (2)

    How many roads must I turn

          C              G                      D                Em

    To find me a place where the bridge hasn't burned

     

    Chorus 2, skip last line
