VERSE 1: 
========= 
G                      C                   F 
Look to the clock on the wall  
F                         C             G  
Hands hardly moving at all 
 G                            C                 F 
I can't stand the state that I'm in  
 F                                C              G              Am  
Sometimes it feels like the wall's closing in 

F    C        G               Am 
Oh Lord what can I say  
F           C              G               Am 
I'm so sad since you went away  
F         C    G             Am 
Time time tickin' on me  
F                    C                  G              Am 
Alone is the last place I wanted to be  
F       G                C     Csus 
Lord what can I say 
 
 
VERSE 2: 
========= 
G                            C                F 
Try and burn my troubles away  
G                C                            F 
Drown my sorrow the same way  
G                               C                 F 
It seems no matter how hard I try  
 F                               C                       G              Am  
It feels like there's something just missing inside 

F    C        G               Am 
Oh Lord what can I say  
F           C              G               Am 
I'm so sad since you went away  
F         C    G             Am 
Time time tickin' on me  
F                    C                  G              Am 
Alone is the last place I wanted to be  
F       G                 C     CSus 
Lord what can I say 
F       G                 C     CSus 
Lord what can I say 
 
VERSE 3: 
========= 
G                  C                  F 
How many rules can I break  
F                   C               G 
How many lies can I make  
G                 C                     F 
How many roads must I turn  
F                     C                            G                     Am 
To find me a place where the bridge hasn't burned 

F    C        G               Am 
Oh Lord what can I say  
F           C              G               Am 
I'm so sad since you went away  
F         C    G             Am 
Time time tickin' on me  
F                    C                  G              Am 
Alone is the last place I wanted to be  
 
F    C        G               Am 
Oh Lord what can I say 
F           C              G               Am 
I'm so sad since you went away  
F         C    G             Am 
Time time tickin' on me  
F                    C                  G              Am 
Alone is the last place I wanted to be  
 
ENDING: 
========= 
F       G                 C     Csus 
Lord what can I say 
F       G                 C     Csus 
Lord what can I say
