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