[Intro]
A B (x8)
[Verse 1]
A B A B
Every time still I find
A B A B
Things don't match up the same
A B A B
First they do, then they don't
A B A B
So we try it again
[Chorus]
E A
And the hour is close at hand
Cadd9 E
But I can't even get to you
E A
And I hope that you'll understand
Cadd9 E
So I can get my message through
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
[Verse 2]
A B
Heads you win
A B
Tails you lose
A B A B
But you don't get to choose
A B A B
If I could, then I would
A B A B
But I know that I can't
[Chorus]
E A
And the hour is close at hand
Cadd9 E
But I can't even get to you
E A
But I hope that you'll understand
Cadd9 E
So I can get my message through
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
[Instrumental]
A B (x8)
[Bridge]
C#m E
And I'm only living
B F#
Only giving this today
C#m E
And I feel forgiven
B F#
For giving it all away
C#m B F#
See I live today
C#m B F#
And you live your way
[Verse 3]
A B
Take a chance
A B
Cast your line
A B A B
Who knows what you might find
A B
With some luck
A B
You might hook
A B A B
What you need from this life
[Chorus]
E A
And the hour is close at hand
Cadd9 E
But I can't even get to you
E A
But I hope that you'll understand
Cadd9 E
So I can get my message through
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
[Outro]
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon you
Cadd9 E
The hours creeping upon me
