[Verse 1]
Ab I had a farmhouse Fm With a grandfather clock Ab Fm Where I would teach time to my son Ab Our lessons began Fm At twelve o'clock sharp Ab Db Eb When the hands would come in as one
[Verse 2]
B Gb I'd say "The big hands count minutes, B Dbm7 it's so tightly wound Gb Ab Db It chases the small hand, to make hours go round"
[Pre-chorus]
Ab Fm I taught Thomas
Constellations in the sky
Ab Db Eb To tell a silver maple from a cottonwood Ab Fm I taught Thomas
To divide and multiply
Ab Eb But what he never understood was
[Chorus]
Gb Time, as I watched him grow Db Time, he would never know Ab Db Time, where my regret resides Gb Time, if I only knew Db The what and how and who Eb Cm Ab Fm That time truly divides
[Verse 3]
Ab There was a farmhouse Fm With a grandfather clock Ab Fm Where one day I woke up alone Ab They feared I was magic Fm They feared I was cursed Ab But mostly they feared the unknown
[Verse 4]
Bb The big hand's the father Db The small hand's the son Bb Bbm Eb And there never came a time Ab Fm When they came back as one Ab Fm I taught Thomas how to catch a firefly Ab Db Eb How to make a pebble skip and rowboat skim Ab Fm She took Thomas and never said goodbye Ab Db Eb The one thing I could never give to him
[Chorus]
Db Ab Was time Db Eb Time Ab Bbm Bb Eb I'm left with nothing Ab Fm Nothing but time
Ab Fm
