Hey Clockface
B7
Keep your fingers on the dial

You stole those precious moments

And the kisses from her smile

And now I'm living in these hours
G
Away we will while
F C
I'm not wasting any more time

Hey Clockface
B7
I really want to know

Why is it when we're apart

You always take it slow

And when she's here
G
You always say "It's almost time to go"
F
You said you'd be a friend to me
C
But time is just my enemy
F C
And it is hurting me so
[Verse 3]
E E7 A7
The moon comes through the window shining crescently and bright
The sun rolls round again

If I could turn your face back
Before all of this started

Forty minutes past four when her secrets she parted
[Verse 4]
C B7
Forty minutes past four in the faithless A.M

She wound up in his arms and not the man that I am

A spring that is sprung

A cuckoo-bird that sung

Now there's a nail in a bare wall
C
Where your face once hung
[Verse 5]

Hey Clockface

Now I don't feel a thing

You stole away the heart in me

And then removed my spring

The winding mechanisms shot

The movement is unwound
F C
Don't tick or tock or dare to make a sound
[Verse 6]
C
Hey Clock-face
B
Well, don't you ever dare
E
Count me down to zero hour
A
And keep me waiting here
D
A minute from departure
G F C
I will twist your key and have her come back to me
F Fm C
And have her come back to me
[Verse 7]

How can you face me?

After what I've been through

After you broke that vow
F C
How can you face me now?

How can you face me now?
F Fm C
How can you face me now?
