[verse - riff 1 (x4)]
Don't think you could stop it now
I'd like to see you try somehow
Realize that it puts it all on you
There's nothing you can do


[chorus]
       Am7                 C
Right now you're sick and tired
                G                  D (0h2 on E-string)
You're feeling sad, you're feeling uninspired
         Am7                   C
But the clock just won't slow down
                  G             D (0h2 on E-string)
Like it gets its kicks pushing you around, you around


[interlude - riff 1 (x2)]


[verse - riff 1 (x2)]
Maybe in the morning it won't be
Quite as bad as it seems


[chorus]
         Am7                  C
But the fact that you can't change
              G                 D (0h2 on E-string)
The speed of sound, the rate of age
      Am7             C
Is an understatement to
            G            D (0h2 on E-string)
A state of mind your not used to, used to


[bridge]
Am   C/B   C    D (0h2 on E-string)
    You'd be forever known
        Am             C/B  C
As the boy who stopped the world
     D (0h2 on E-string)
And made his own


[outro-verse (fingerpick chorus chords lightly)]
      Am7                  C
Right now you're sick and tired
                G           D (0h2 on E-string)
You're feeling sad. feeling uninspired
      Am7              C
So I pray for you my friend
                  G                D
That you'll fall down, you'll give in


[outro - riff 1 (x4)]
You'll give in
