Intro: F G Em F x2

 

Dm/C C  Dm/C C    (etc) 
Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you.
Caught up in circ - les, confu -  sion is nothing new.

F         G        Em     F                     G        Em
Flash back, warm nights, almost left behind.
F     G           Em     F
Suitcase of memories...

     G
Time after...

Some times you picture me, I'm walk - ing too far ahead.
You're calling to    me, I can't hear what you've said.

Then you say, go  slow,    I fall behind.
The second hand unwinds.

          G                                                Am7              Fadd9   G     C
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me       time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting                    Time after time.

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me      time after time.
If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting                   Time after time.

 

Instrumental: F   G   Em   F   x2

 

Af  - ter my picture fades and dark - ness has turned to grey,
Watch - ing through win - dows, you're wondering if I'm o - kay.

Secrets stolen from deep inside,
The drum beats out of time.


Chorus

 

Instrumental: G   Am7   Fadd9 G C   x2 *


 
F      G    Em  F        G         Em
You say, go  slow, I fall behind.
F        G           Em        F
  The second hand unwinds.
 

Chorus
 

Fadd9  G     C
  Time after time.
  Time after time.
  Time after time.
  Time after time.
