Artist: Said the Whale

Am

Am
Come lady hourglass, 
Dm
Take me by the hand
F
I'll shower you with gifts, 
Em
If you'll just make the hard times pass

Am
You're tall and blue and crystalline, 
Dm
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
F
In this ancient battle against time,
Em
We're bound to make a mark

Am
We gotta get some weight on that tiny waist, 
Dm
Yeah, open up that little space
F
With chocolate covered lollipops, 
Em
And all that stuff

Am
We'll break the spirits of the sand, 
Dm
In every hourglass of the land
F
Sand's rushing to your feet, 
Em
Just like your head's on fire

              Dm
Your head's on fire!
              Am
Your head's on fire!
              Dm
Your head's on fire!
              Am   C
Your head's on fire!

Am
Now it's been seven years inside a month
Dm
And I think I our plan, it worked too much
F
Cause yesterday I woke up
Em
And my life was gone

Am
My hair is grey, my skin is tough
Dm
I'm wrinkled and my voice is rough
F
Tell me lady hourglass,
Em
What went wrong?

Dm
"Boy, you gave me lollipops
F
And chocolate covered lemon drops
C
My waist it grew, the sand it dropped
G
And time flew by

Dm
With every single grain of sand
F
That passes through my crystal hands
C
A child is born, a boy's a man
G
This you have to understand

Dm
So play the cards that you were dealt
F
No matter if you're feeling well
C
The best will come around to you
G
The best will come, the best will come

Dm F

C
The best will come around to you
G
Even if your head's on fire"

              Dm
Your head's on fire!
              Am
Your head's on fire!
              Dm
Your head's on fire!
              Am   C
Your head's on fire!
