the chords being used
Intro: F , G , C/E , F X2
C (picking pattern)
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
And think of you
Caught up in circles confusion -
Is nothing new
F G C/E F
Flashback - warm nights -
F G C/E F
Almost left behind
F G C/E F
Suitcases of memories,
F G
Time after -
C (picking pattern)
Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said -
F G C/E F
Then you say - go slow -
F G C/E F
I fall behind -
F G C/E F
The second hand unwinds
[Chorus:] (Regular C in the chorus)
G Am7
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
F G C
Time after time
G Am7
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
F G C
Time after time [X2]
C (picking pattern)
After my picture fades and darkness has
Turned to gray
Watching through windows - you're wondering
If I'm OK
F G C/E F F G
F
Secrets stolen from deep inside
F G C/E F
The drum beats out of time -
[Chorus:]

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time
G Am7
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
F G C
Time after time [X2]
F G C/E F
Then you say - go slow -
F G C/E F
I fall behind -
F G C/E F
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting

...Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
