^AmTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ^FTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

^AmI'm not disconnected ^FI'm not unaware ^AmI'm in one place at one time I'm ^Fneither here nor there I'm ^Amhooked to the mainstream Tuned into the world Plugged ^Finto my surroundings not out on a limb I'm ^Amthinking in a straight line I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine My ^Fheart is beating oh so fast I feel the hours crashing

And my ^Cmind beats ^Gtime like ^Eclockwork^Am And I ^Cthink in ^Gsync like ^Eclockwork^Am

^AmTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ^FTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

^AmShe's done away with emotion She ^Fsees things clearly now She ^Amsays she sees it all from her room And it ^Flooks so small from her room It's all ^Amright, it's all right I'm on ^Fyour side...for a while She thinks ^Amtime is the concept by which we measure our age She ^Fwants to say it again, but she don't have time

Because her ^Cmind beats ^Gtime like ^Eclockwork^Am And she ^Cthinks in ^Gsync like ^Eclockwork^Am

^AmTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock ^FTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock

^CCount the hours, ^Bmcount the months and ^Eminutes You're ^Cborn in tears and you ^Bmdie in pain and that's your ^Elimit You're ^Clookin' for so many reasons ^Bmbut there's none there, why don't you ad^Emit it We ^Cmake the most of ^Bmwhat we've got, that's the ^Eticket My, my, my ^Am

I ^Amstayed in that room a long, long time And ^Fwatched the seasons gliding by

And hey...what's the matter? We've got time, lots of time It's alright, it's alright I'm on your side for a while We'll wind up We'll slow down We'll speed up, move around, or we'll maybe overwind..

Because our ^Cminds beats ^Gtime like ^Eclockwork^Am And now we ^Cthink in ^Gsync like ^Eclockwork^Am ooh ooh ooh

And our ^Cminds beats ^Gtime like ^Eclockwork^Am And we ^Cthink in ^Gsync like ^Eclockwork^Am

^AmTick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
