Verse 
              A 
She’s got a four leaf clover 
                       F#m 
on a cigarette in her mouth 
                      E 
and time is ticking out 
                      D 
her luck is running out 
                A 
she’s got his promise ring 
                               F#m 
in the bottom of her bedside drawer 
                          E 
and she still wants him more 
                       D 
sprawled out on the floor 

and tears are running down her 

Pre-Chorus 
E 
face the fact that it’s never gonna work out 
D 
momma says he’s not up to snuff 
     E 
she looks up and asks god if 
                     D 
he’ll give them a chance 

but he never does 


         A 
and it acts like clockwork 
      F#m                  E 
the midnight heartache’s right on time 
         A 
and it acts like clockwork 
         F#m             E 
the regular breakdown’s half past nine 
        D 
and you tell them that you’re fine 

Verse 
            A 
he’s got a chip on his shoulder 
                             F#m 
and he can’t hold down his pride 
                       E 
but he’s still sick inside 
                          D 
tired of fighting this battle 

every day and every 

Pre-Chorus 
E 
night after night he stays up and stays out 
D 
Daddy says he’s not good enough 
      E 
and he looks up and asks god if 
                   D 
he’ll give them a chance 

but he never does 

 
        A 
and it acts like clockwork 
        F#m                E 
the midnight heartache’s right on time

          D 
and you tell them that you’re fine 

Bridge 
        Bm                  D 
So you find every clock in town 
      E         A 
and break them all 
Bm                    D       E 
collect the ones off bedside tables 
      A                F#m 
and rip them off the wall 
Bm                 D     E 
smash them into pieces 
A              F#m 
piled on the street 
        D 
until time stops ticking 

 
         A 
and it acts like clockwork 
       F#m                 E
