A7 Em7 A7 Em7
[Verse 1]
A7 Em7 A7 I feel like I'm pounding on a big door Em7 No one can hear me knocking, A7 Em7 A7 I feel like I'm falling flat to the floor Em7 No one can catch me from falling, D A/C# The hourglass has no more grains of sand Bm My watch has stopped no more turning hands Bm The crew have abandoned the ship C +The lights are on but no one is in.
[Chorus]
A7 Take it to the bridge throw it overboard Em7 See if it can swim back up to the shore A7 No one’s in the house everyone is out Em7 All the lights are on and the blinds are down A7 Take it to the bridge throw it overboard Em7 See if it can swim back up to the shore A7 No one’s in the house everyone is out Em7 All the lights are on and the blinds are down
[Verse 2]
A7 Em7 A7 I feel like I'm calling on a telephone Em7 A7 No one can hear the ringing, A7 Em7 A7 I feel like I'm running up a steep hill Em7 No one can stop me from running, D A/C# The hourglass has no more grains of sand Bm My watch has stopped no more turning hands Bm The little hand shakes its fist C The face is hanging out on a spring.
[Chorus]
A7 Take it to the bridge throw it overboard Em7 See if it can swim back up to the shore A7 No one’s in the house everyone is out Em7 All the lights are on and the blinds are down

Bm A The hourglass has no more grains of sand A Little red grains of sand D My watch has stopped no more turning hands C Little green neon hands.
