[Am]
[B] [Bm] [Em] Old enough to be [G] her dad, but the young men were just mad.

[Em] And [Am] she was flattered by [B] his charm.
It wouldn't do [G] her any harm.
They [B] all had their chances.
He sent [Em] her flowers and limousines.
She was treated [G] like a queen in anything she ever wanted.
It was no [Em] problem for a man like him.
[Am] And everyone expected [A] soon that she could ask [Em] him for the moon if [B] she would wear his ring.
And though [Em] he'd glances from his friends in the [G] homes that the weak and the [A] high society.
[Em] [Am] But he didn't give a damn.
He never felt more [Em] like a man in all [B] the time.
The clock was ticking and all [C]
wouldn't be.
[B] For older man [E] and his beautiful [F#] young wife, [D] yes, all [C]
wouldn't [D] be.
[B] [Em]
[C] [D#]
[F#m] [Em] In a house upon a hill, she was there with time [D] to kill.
She lived [C] the life she'd only dreamed.

She denied [Em] that she was bored.
She had [B] no time for dancing.
No time for dancing.
[Em] But the clock upon the wall that was [G] ticking in the hall always reminded [C] her.
[Am] That life was going on elsewhere.
And she was happy and she'd [Em] swear she [B] wouldn't change a thing.
And [Bm] all [Am] wouldn't be.

She must have spent the night again with that [Dm] old friend of hers.
And she loves [D] to dance.
She's [Am] missing more and more these days, but he's still stuck in it always.
Perhaps [Dm] she needs a little more [G] romance.
[E] But the clock [Am] upon the wall is still ticking in the [G] hall.
She [B] must be home [B] soon.
Soon.
[C] Where a young man would weep, [B] he takes a pill and goes to [E]
