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
Em D G C D Em D G C G C
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

Ah (3x)
