G               B 
  Goodbye, little alarm clock,   
       C            D 
  You've given me great times.   
      G                    B                 C            D 
  But lately, time's been slipping away from you.   
C           D             G           B 
  Why you've given up on me, I don't know.   
   C                  D 
  Alarm clock, don't be sour,   
      C            D 
  You're losing all your power,   
       C           D 
  It's your eleventh hour,   
        G 
  Time to go.   
 

  G                  B     
  I got you when I was ten,   
  C                  G 
  Things were simpler then. 
      C                D                      G 
  You woke me up in time for the early-bird show.   
  G                B 
  And later on that day,   
      C               G 
  You woke me up okay,   
     C                D                 G           G7 
  In time for Simon Townsend's Wonderworld.   
 

                C 
  I slept a lot as a kid,   
               G 
  Oh, alarm clock, all the things we did.   
   
  Yeah, yeah.   
      C 
  Well, you didn't do much,   
                      D (stop) 
  You just sat there making noise,  
  
  And now that's what I do for a living.   
       

G               B 
  Goodbye, little alarm clock,   
       C            D 
  You've given me great times.   
      G                    B                 C            D 
  But lately, time's been slipping away from you.   
C           D             G           B 
  Why you've given up on me, I don't know.   
   C                  D 
  Alarm clock, don't be sour,   
      C            D 
  You're losing all your power,   
       C           D 
  It's your eleventh hour,   
        G 
  Time to go.   
       

G                        B 
  And when my teenage years unfurled,   
       C            G 
  When I brought home a girl,   
      C                    D              G 
  You sat and watched and never judged me once.   
G                  B 
  But not matter who it was,   
  C                 G 
  They came second because,   
   C                           D                G    G7 
  Alarm clock, it's always your face that I saw.   
 

          C 
  I was a pretty weird kid,   
            G 
  They said I loved you, and I did.   
   
  Yeah, yeah.   
            C (stop) 
  But they can keep their skateboards,   
             C (stop) 
  'Cause you go backwards and forwards,   
D (stop) 
  Not unlike words like "glenelg" or "boob".

over spoken bit: 

  Goodbye, little alarm clock, goodbye.  

  How could I ever replace you?   

  Maybe I should get one of those atomic clocks,   

  That would suit me just well.   
       

C           D             G           B 
  Why you've given up on me, I don't know.   
   C                  D 
  Alarm clock, don't be sour,   
       C             D 
  You're losing all your power,   
       C           D 
  It's your eleventh hour,   
        G 
  Time to go.   
 
  Goodbye, alarm clock, goodbye...
