A             D           G
Look to the clock on the wall
G             D        A
Hands hardly moving at all
  A                 D            G
I can't stand the state that I'm in
G             D              A            Bm
Sometimes it feels like the walls closing in

Chorus:
G   D      A         Bm
Oh Lord, what can I say
G       D         A         Bm
I'm so sad since you went away
G     D    A          Bm
Time time tickin' on me
  G           D            A         Bm
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
 G      A         D
Lord, what can I say

Try and burn my troubles away
Drown my sorrow the same way
It seems no matter how hard I try
It feels like there's something just missing inside

Chorus

    G     A          D
Oh Lord, what can I say

How many rules can I break?
How many lies can I make?
How many roads must I turn
To find me a place where the bridge hasn't burned?

Chorus:
Oh, Lord, what can I say?
I'm so sad since you went away
Time, time, ticking on me
Alone is the last place I wanted to be
Lord, what can I say?
Oh, Lord, what can I say? - x2
