[Verse 1]
A7                 Em7           A7
   I feel like I'm pounding on a big door
           Em7              
No one can hear me knocking,
A7                 Em7             A7
   I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor
           Em7                  
No one can catch me from falling,
D                                    A/C#
 The hourglass has no more grains of sand
                                     Bm
My watch has stopped no more turning hands
Bm
The crew have abandoned the ship
    C
+The lights are on but no one is in.


[Chorus]
A7
Take it to the bridge throw it overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

A7
Take it to the bridge throw it overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds are down


[Verse 2]
A7                Em7          A7
  I feel like I'm calling on a telephone
           Em7               A7
No one can hear the ringing,
A7                Em7          A7
  I feel like I'm running up a steep hill
           Em7                  
No one can stop me from running,           
D                                    A/C#
 The hourglass has no more grains of sand
                                     Bm
My watch has stopped no more turning hands
Bm
The little hand shakes its fist
    C
The face is hanging out on a spring.


[Chorus]
A7
Take it to the bridge throw it overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

(This chorus percussion only in original)
A7 
Take it to the bridge throw it overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

{Verse 3}
    Bm                              A
The hourglass has no more grains of sand
A
Little red grains of sand
D
My watch has stopped no more turning hands
C
Little green neon hands.


{Chorus}
A7
Take it to the bridge throw it overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Take it to the bridge throw it overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds are down


{Outro}
A7                     Em7
Feels like I'm calling back to the shore
A7                   Em7
  No one can hear me calling


[Fade out]
A7                     Em7
Feels like I'm falling flat to the floor
A7           Em7
  No one can catch me from falling..
