 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
