Come lady hourglass, 
D5
Take me by the hand
F5
I'll shower you with gifts, 
E5
If you'll just make the hard times pass

A5
You're tall and blue and crystalline, 
D5
I'll be yours if you'll be mine
F5
In this ancient battle against time,
E5
We're bound to make a mark

A5
We gotta get some weight on that tiny waist, 
D5
Yeah, open up that little space
F5
With chocolate covered lollipops, 
E5
And all that stuff

A5
We'll break the spirits of the sand, 
D5
In every hourglass of the land
F5
Sand's rushing to your feet, 
E5
Just like your head's on fire

              D5
Your head's on fire!
              A5
Your head's on fire!
              D5
Your head's on fire!
              A5   C5
Your head's on fire!

A5
Now it's been seven years inside a month
D5
And I think I our plan, it worked too much
F5
Cause yesterday I woke up
E5
And my life was gone

A5
My hair is grey, my skin is tough
D5
I'm wrinkled and my voice is rough
F5
Tell me lady hourglass,
E5
What went wrong?

D5
"Boy, you gave me lollipops
F5
And chocolate covered lemon drops
C5
My waist it grew, the sand it dropped
G5
And time flew by

D5
With every single grain of sand
F5
That passes through my crystal hands
C5
A child is born, a boy's a man
G5
This you have to understand

D5
So play the cards that you were dealt
F5
No matter if you're feeling well
C5
The best will come around to you
G5
The best will come, the best will come

D5 F5

C5
The best will come around to you
G5
Even if your head's on fire"

              D5
Your head's on fire!
              A5
Your head's on fire!
              D5
Your head's on fire!
              A5   C5
Your head's on fire!
