VERSE 1: ([Em] + [D] pattern)
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you.
Caught up in circles; Confusion is nothing new.

[A]-backs,
[F#m] warm
[G] nights.
[G] Almost
[A] left
[F#m] behind

[A]-case of
[F#m] memo-
[G]-ries;
VERSE 2:
Time after sometimes you picture me; I'm walking too far ahead.
You're calling to me I can't hear what you've said.
Then you say go slow, I fall behind. The second hand unwinds.
CHORUS:
If you're
[A] lost you can
[A/C#] look and you
[Bm7] will find me.
[G] Time after
[D] time
If you
[A] fall I will
[A/C#] catch you I'll
[Bm7] be waiting.
[G] Time after
[D] time
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: [*R1 x2]
VERSE 3:
After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey.
Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm ok.
Secrets stolen from deep inside; The drum beats out of time.
REPEAT CHORUS:
You said go slow I fall behind; The second hand unwinds.
REPEAT CHORUS: [x2]
OUTRO:
[G] Time after
[D] time
[G] Time after
[D] time
[G] Time after
[D] time
