Intro: C Em G D (x2)
Verse
C
Red dress, spilled wine
Em
caught in a stupid fight
G
He's wrong, she's right
D
No kiss goodnight
C
Ring ring, telephone
Em
Act like I'm not home
G
Can't hear the tears cry
D C
On the other end of the line
Pre-Chorus
Em
And the minutes turn to hours
D C
And they're flying like a jet plane
Em
And we'll make it right tomorrow
D
But tomorrow's not a sure thing
C Em D
The clock don't sto-o-o-op ticking away
C Em D
The clock don't sto-o-o-op ticking away, away
C
Always hanging on the wall
Em
No, it don't care at all
D
It won't slow down, it won't wait
C Em D
The clock don't sto-o-o-op ticking away, it's ticking away
Verse
C
Head's scared, heart broke
Em
Burned from a band of gold
G
Rather just be alone
D
Burns, just a bad joke

Bang bang on a drum

You're not a setting sun
G
You ain't even close to done

Run, baby, run run
