Ly   - ing in bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you.

Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new.

F    G      Em   F               G      Em

Flashbacks, warm nights.  Almost left behind

F   G       Em  F     F    F/G

Suitcase of memories, 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:

G                                   Am7            F    F/G   C

If you're lost you can look and you will find me.  Time after time.

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting.  Time after time.

If you're lost you can look and you will find me.  Time after time.

If you  fall I will catch you I'll be waiting.  Time after time.

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to grey.

Watching through windows, you're wondering if I'm okay.

Secrets stolen from deep inside.  The drum beats out of time.

 

CHORUS:

 

You said go slow, I fall behind.  The second hand unwinds.

Time after time... [3x and out]
