[C#m] [G#m] [C#m]
Old enough to be her dad, but the [E] young men were just mad they nursed their [A] grievances
But [E] [C#m] she was flattered by his charm, it wouldn't do her any harm, they'd all [C#] have their chances
[G#] He [C#m] sent her flowers and limousines, and she was treated [B] like a [E] queen
And [A] anything she ever wanted was no problem for a [E] man like [F#m] him
And everyone expected soon that she could ask him [A] for the moon if [G#] she would wear his ring
Throwing [C#m] glasses from his friends in [E] the homes at the weekends of high society
[A]
But [E] [F#m] at one degree's removal, what he'd lost in [A] their approval, he [C#] made up all with a certain [G#] notoriety
[C#m] But their wives had colder glasses, [B] they'd a [E] need for such romances
And [A] they'd confer on all the thoughts that they were picking
[G#m] But [F#m] he didn't give a damn, he never felt more [A] like a man, but all [C#] the time the clock was ticking
[G#]

[C#m] a house upon a hill, she was [G#m] there with time to [E] kill
She'd lived her life, she'd only [A] dreamed, [E] but life was never what it seemed
[F#m] To all the old friends she'd ignored, she'd deny that she [A] was bored
[C#m] She had [C#] no time for dancing, no time for [G#] dancing
[C#m] But the clock upon the wall, [E] the ticking in the hallways [A] reminded her
[G#m] [F#m] Life was [C#m] going on elsewhere, [B] [F#m] but she was happy and [A] she swore she [G#] wouldn't change a thing
[A] Oh, I would envy [G#] the older man [C#m] and his beautiful young wife

She loves [E] to dance, [F#m] she's missing more and more these days
I'm so [C#m] stuck in my old ways, perhaps she needs a little more romance
[D]
[E] [F#] But the clock upon the [F#m] wall, never ticking in [C#m] the hall, she [C#] must be home soon
