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