[Verse 1]
    C
Hey Clockface
          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

[Verse 2]
    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

[Verse 3]
E                                         E7             A7
The moon comes through the window shining crescently and bright
The sun rolls round again
D7
If I could turn your face back
Before all of this started
G
Forty minutes past four when her secrets she parted

[Verse 4]
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


[Verse 5]
    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


[Verse 6]
    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


[Verse 7]
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?
