[N] [Eb] [D]
[Bb] [Fm]
You kicked the [Ab] blow, now you've got to kick the [Fm] guy
You sat
[Ab] alone, under a bellowing [Fm] sky
If I feel [Eb]
God judging [Fm] me
Well I fell into the [Eb] water, now I'm [Fm] free
My friends, they don't really get me, think I'm the only one
Well [Ab] I sold my soul to [Cm] Jesus and [Db] since then I've had [Fm] fun
Behind every tree is a cutting machine, a guy fallen from grace
Inside [Ab] every man [Eb] is a heart of sand, I [Db] can see it [Fm] in his face
He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, [Eb] tick away
[Fm] Another second lost, with every [Eb] falling grey
[Fm] He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick [Eb] away
[Fm] Another second lost, with every falling [Eb] grey
No [F] wind tonight, we speak the same, but he don't hear so well
If [Eb] you're gonna have to curse him, well [Fm] you're gonna have to yell
The sky and the air, we've had our fights and I'm coming round to rain
If the [Ab] rain come out, [Eb] now don't go out, [Db] I'll never have to speak
[Fm] I can tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick [Eb] away
Another [Fm] second lost, with every [Bb] falling grey
I can [Fm] tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick [Eb] away
Another [Fm] second lost, with every [Eb] falling grey
The [F] captain's got his boots on and he's heading out the [Cm] door
[Eb] Leaving his lady alone, [Fm] thinking he don't love me no more
He's done with all this bullshit, he's going back to war
If heaven is as heaven does, [Db] then this is hell [Fm] for sure
He'll tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick [Eb] away
Another [Fm] second lost, with every [Bb] falling grey
He'll [Fm] tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick [Eb] away
Another [Fm] second lost, with every [Eb] falling grey
You gave the [Ab] blood, now you've gotta give the [Fm] gall
[Ab] You sat alone, under bellowing [Fm] sky
If I feel [Eb]
God judging [Fm] me
But I fell into [Eb] the water, and now I'm [Fm]
