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