Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock
[Am]Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
[F]Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
[Am]I'm not disconnected
[F]I'm not unaware
[Am]I'm in one place at one time
I'm [F]neither here nor there
I'm [Am]hooked to the mainstream
Tuned into the world
Plugged [F]into my surroundings
not out on a limb
I'm [Am]thinking in a straight line
I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine
My [F]heart is beating oh so fast
I feel the hours crashing
And my [C]mind beats [G]time like [E]clockwork[Am]
And I [C]think in [G]sync like [E]clockwork[Am]
[Am]Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
[F]Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
[Am]She's done away with emotion
She [F]sees things clearly now
She [Am]says she sees it all from her room
And it [F]looks so small from her room
It's all [Am]right, it's all right
I'm on [F]your side...for a while
She thinks [Am]time is the concept by which we measure our age
She [F]wants to say it again, but she don't have time
Because her [C]mind beats [G]time like [E]clockwork[Am]
And she [C]thinks in [G]sync like [E]clockwork[Am]
[Am]Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
[F]Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
[C]Count the hours, [Bm]count the months and [E]minutes
You're [C]born in tears and you [Bm]die in pain and that's your [E]limit
You're [C]lookin' for so many reasons [Bm]but there's none
there, why don't you ad[E]mit it
We [C]make the most of [Bm]what we've got, that's the [E]ticket
My, my, my[Am]
I [Am]stayed in that room a long, long time
And [F]watched the seasons gliding by
And hey...what's the matter?
We've got time, lots of time
It's alright, it's alright
I'm on your side for a while
We'll wind up
We'll slow down
We'll speed up, move around, or we'll maybe overwind..
Because our [C]minds beats [G]time like [E]clockwork[Am]
And now we [C]think in [G]sync like [E]clockwork[Am] ooh ooh ooh
And our [C]minds beats [G]time like [E]clockwork[Am]
And we [C]think in [G]sync like [E]clockwork[Am]
[Am]Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
