Am F Am G
Time will crawl
[Verse 1]
Am F
I've never sailed on a sea
Am D
I would not challenge a giant
Am F
I could not take on the church
Am
Time will crawl
D
'Til the 21st century lose
Am F
I know a government man
Am G
He was as blind as the moon, and he
Am F
He saw the sun in the night
Am G
He took a top-gun pilot and heâ
Am F
He made him fly through a hole
Am G
'Til he grew real old, and heâ
Am F
And he never came down
Am D
He just flew till he burst
[Chorus 1]
Am
Time will crawl
F
'Til our mouths run dry
Am
Time will crawl
G
'Til our feet grow small
Am
Time will crawl
F
'Til our tails fall off
Am
Time will crawl
G
'Til the 21st century lose
[Verse 2]
Am F
I saw a black, black stream
Am G
Full of white eyed fish
Am F
And a drowning man
Am G
With no eyes at all
Am F
I felt a warm, warm breeze
Am G
That melted metal and steel
Am F
I got a bad migraine
Am G
That lasted three long years
Am F
And the pills that I took
Am D
Made my fingers disappear
[Chorus 2]
Am
Time will crawl
F
Time will crawl
G
Time will crawl
Am
'Til the 21st century lose
D
(Go!)
[Interlude]
Am
Time will crawl
G
Am
F
Time will crawl
[Verse 3]
Am F
You were a talented child
Am G
You came to live in our town
Am F
We never bothered to scream
Am G
When your mask went off
Am F
We only smelt the gas
Am D
As we lay down to sleep
Time
[Chorus 1]
Am
Time will crawl
F
And our heads bowed down
Am
Time will crawl
G
And our eyes fall out
Am
Time will crawl
F
And the streets run red
Am
Time will crawl
G
'Til the 21st century lose
[Chorus 1]
Am
Time will crawl
F
And our mouths run dry
Am
Time will crawl
G
And our feet grow small
Am
Time will crawl
F
And our tails fall off
Am
Time will crawl
G
'Til the 21st century lose
[Chorus 1]
Am
Time will crawl
F
And our heads bowed down
Am
Time will crawl
G
And our eyes fall out
Am
Time will crawl
F
And the streets run red
Am
Time will crawl
G
'Til the 21st century lose
[Outro]
Am
Time will crawl
G
For the crazy child
Am
Time will crawl
D
We'll give every life
Am
'Til the 21st century lose
G
For the crackpot notion
