Bm D5 E
What's the time? Seems it's already morning
Bm D5 Esus4 E
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue
Bm D5 E
The tv's on, but the only thing showing
B Bm
is a picture of you
Bm D5 E
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee
Bm D5 Esus4 E
I try to read a book but the story's to thin
Bm D5 E
I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me
B Bm
in the shape I'm in
E B
Spending my time watching the days go by
C#m A
Feeling so small I stare at the wall
F#m A B
hoping that you think of me too
E
I'm spending my time
I try to call but I don't know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me
wake up from this dream?
E B
Spending my time watching the days go by
C#m A
Feeling so small I stare at the wall
F#m A B
hoping that you are missing of me too
E B
I'm spending my time watching the sun go down
C#m A
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"
F#m Bm
a prayer gone blind
I'm spending my time
F#m A E
My friends keep telling me: hey life will go on,
F#m A E
time will make sure I'll get over you.
F#m A
This silly game of love
E B D (E)
You play, you win only to lose.
F# C#
Spending my time watching the days go by
D#m B
Feeling so small I stare at the wall
G#m B C#
hoping that you are missing of me too
F# C#
I'm spending my time watching the sun go down
D#m B
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"
G#m C#m
a prayer gone blind
Outro:
B C# F# G#
B C# F#
[Repeat to fade]
Esus4 (I think) is either played with a capo on the 2nd fret,
or barred at the 7th, like this:
e: 5 7
B: 5 10
G: 4 9
D: 2 9
A: x 7
E: x 7
