Elvis Costello – Hey Clockface (Guitar)

    C
[tab]          B7
Keep your fingers on the dial

    E
You stole those precious moments

        A
And the kisses from her smile

    D
And now I'm living in these hours

G
Away we will while

F                        C
I'm not wasting any more time

    C
Hey Clockface

   B7
I really want to know

E
Why is it when we're apart

A
You always take it slow

D
And when she's here

                     G
You always say "It's almost time to go"

F
You said you'd be a friend to me

C
But time is just my enemy

F                    C
And it is hurting me so

E                                         E7             A7
The moon comes through the window shining crescently and bright

D7
If I could turn your face back

G
Forty minutes past four when her secrets she parted

C                              B7
Forty minutes past four in the faithless A.M

E                                    A
She wound up in his arms and not the man that I am

D
A spring that is sprung

G
A cuckoo-bird that sung

              F
Now there's a nail in a bare wall

           C
Where your face once hung

    C
Hey Clockface

    B
Now I don't feel a thing

    E
You stole away the heart in me

    A
And then removed my spring

    D
The winding mechanisms shot

    G
The movement is unwound

      F                              C
Don't tick or tock or dare to make a sound

    C
Hey Clock-face

     B
Well, don't you ever dare

E
Count me down to zero hour

    A
And keep me waiting here

  D
A minute from departure

       G             F                          C
I will twist your key and have her come back to me

   F         Fm           C
And have her come back to me

C           B7
How can you face me?

E                    A
After what I've been through

D                    G
After you broke that vow

F                   C
How can you face me now?

F           Fm      C
How can you face me now?

F           Fm      C
How can you face me now?
