INTRO: Em

CHORUS:
Em       Em/maj7 Em7    G       Am      C
Beat the clock,  try to make it stop, before 
Em       G                         Am
time can draw the line and cut you down to 
    B7
her size.
Em       Em/maj7 Em7    G       Am
Beat the clock,  try to make it stop, tell me 
    C                            B7
how long will it take before you finally realize?

#1.
         Em          G               C
That the carnival is over and you've seen much 
       D
better days.
         Em              G         C
You have wasted too much time into many different 
B
ways.
    Em                   D  C
You deny the possibility of growing old.
    D   Em                          D      C
You are filled with false humility..you're much 
    
too bold.

CHORUS:
Em       Em/maj7 Em7    G       Am      C
Beat the clock,  try to make it stop, before 
Em       G                         Am
time can draw the line and cut you down to 
    B7

#2.
            Em               G             C
That you're in this game the same as me, although you 
             D
think you're not.
         Em           G                C
When you try to rise above it all, you get just 
         B
what you got.

#3.
   Em                 G                  C
It seems to me you're slipping, you seem slightly 
  
unnerved.
         Em              G     D   C
When you finally see yourself, you get what you 
       
deserve.
