[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G Em I'm just sitting counting all the cobwebs Am D And wondering just when you'll come along F Em You said that you'd be here an hour ago Am D But an hour ago is hours ago from then
[Chorus]
G A C G No, and I don't know what to do C G I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe C G Am D C And the sand in the hourglass slips on by
[Verse 2]
G Em Light another cigarette, watch the burning glow Am C D Catching spiders in my hand, and then I let it go F Em Imagine pictures on the wall, watch the insects where they crawl Am D They don't care about you and I've nothing to do
[Chorus]
G A C G No, and I don't know what to do C G I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe C G Am D D7 And the sand in the hourglass slips on by
[Verse 3]
G Em Maybe the bus didn't get there on time F G Em Maybe the train doesn't run on that line for some reason G C And she might not come G D Because she doesn't want to see you again F C G No no no, that can't be true A D And I've got nothing to do
[Chorus]
G A C G No, I've got nothing to do C G I'm drawing crazy patterns on my shoe C G Am C D And the sand in the hourglass slips on by
[Outro]
