Well I found that the highest rated version of this song used a capo, and I've been
this song fine for quite a long time, no capo, simple chords, so I thought I'd throw my
out there. :].
Very simple song, very fun to play.
The verse, and the interlude are palm muted the entire time, while the chorus is
strumming.
The strumming pattern is easy to figure out, it's the same all the way through.
D# Standard [D#,G#,C#,F#,A#,D#]
Everything is tuned down one half step.
And the chords that I write, are what they would be in standard tuning, for simplicity.
E - 0,2,2,1,0,0
A - x,0,2,2,2,0
B - x,2,4,4,4,2
EM7 - 0,2,1,1,0,0
I'm checking your pulse, I'm giving you air
But your body disagrees
And no it don't care at all
I'm wasting my time
Now your eyes roll awake, you're looking at me
You say "Darling what happened, did I fall asleep
And you carry me home?
Cause I know I wasn't here"
I'm closing your blinds, I'm shutting your eyes
And now I'm afraid I have to go
Whoa
I'd sing you a song but I'm feeling quite off
In my heart,It's occupied
And now's not the time
Interlude: [E,A,E,Em7] (palm muted)
Let's try this again and this time don't laugh
Cause I'm working on my sentences
I'm working on my play on words
I'll get it this time
If I am a clock then you are the time
I'm patiently waiting and your out of line
And I'll be the question
If you'll be the answer
I'm closing your blinds, I'm shutting your eyes
And now I'm afraid I have to go
Whoa
I'd sing you a song but I'm feeling quite off
In my heart,It's occupied
And now's not the time
If I am a clock then you are the time
I'm patiently waiting and you're out of line
I'm counting the times you've lied to my face
My hands were full not a second to waste
If I am a clock then you are the time
I'm patiently waiting and you're out of line
I'm counting the times you've lied to my face
My hands were full not a second to waste
I'm closing your blinds, I'm shutting your eyes
And now I'm afraid I have to go
Whoa
I'd sing you a song but I'm feeling quite off
In my heart,It's occupied
And now's not the time
E (Strum)
The time
