G                                  D/F#    Em 
I'm an open book with pages blowing in the wind 
                                    Am 
I turn around and I lost my place again 
                            C 
But I don't care to stay, I wasn't reading anyway 
    D7 
And now I've wasted half a day chasing empty pages 
          G                                      D/F#     Em 
'cause a wiser man once told me that one day I'd find my dreams 
                                             Am 
but at the time I didn't think to what that means 
                                   C 
so I've been searching blind with nothing I expect to find 
    D7                                                                G 
A scattered disillusion mind, and that is right where you and I first met

Oh  (2x) 

        G                                             D/F#    Em 
'cause I'm a ticking clock with hands that don't know what to hold 
                                                        Am 
and I can't come to rest with that it means I'm getting older 
                   C                  
by the secondhand soon I'm back at noon again 
 D7 
waiting for a new beginning, chasing youthful visions and 
   G                                       D/F#   Em 
remember when I told you that I loved you well I did 
                                           Am 
but that was then when I was just a lonely kid 
                                   C 
chalk full of guts to spill and an empty gaping heart to fill 
     D7                                                                           G 
you loved me and you always will, but good clocks don't stop moving till they're dead 

Em D G C D Em D G  C    G     C 
Oh  (2x) 

        G                                   D/F#       Em 
'cause I'm a word that's big and long that nobody can spell 
                                           Am 
and once a time I find I knew the meaning well 
                         C 
but definitions mean between two hearts collaborating 
 D7                                                              G 
there's no use to keep on waiting when you don't define me how I do 

C  D  Em  D  G 
Ah  (3x)
