[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
G Em You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy. G Em You sat alone under billowing sky. D Em If I feel God judging me, D Em Well, I fell into the water, and now I’m free. Em My friends they don’t really get me,
think I’m the only one
G D C Em Well I sold my soul to Jesus and since then I’ve had no fun Em Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace G D C Em Inside every man is a heart of sand, you can see it in his face.
[Chorus]
Em D He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. Em D Another second lost with every fallen grain. Em D He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. Em D Another second lost with every fallen grain.
[Verse 2]
Em The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don’t hear so well. D You’re gonna have to curse him, Em Well, you’re gonna have to yell. Em The sky and I, we’ve had our fights and I’m coming round to rain, G D If the rain come round and don’t go out, C Em and I’ll never have to speak again.
[Chorus]
Em D I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. Em D Another second lost with every fallen grain. Em D Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. Em D Another second lost with every fallen grain.
[Verse 3]
Em The captain's got his boots on and he’s heading out the door, D Em Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don’t love me no more." Em He’s done with all this bullshit,
He’s going back to war,
G D If Heaven is as Heaven does, C Em then this is Hell for sure...
[Chorus]
Em D And he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. Em D Another second lost with every fallen grain. Em D He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away. Em D Another second lost with every fallen grain.
[Outro] (Verse 1)
G Em You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy. G Em You sat alone under billowing sky. D Em If I feel God judging me, D Em But I fell into the water, and now I’m free.
