[verse - riff 1 (x4)]
Don't think you could stop it now
I'd like to see you try somehow
Realize that it puts it all on you
There's nothing you can do


[chorus]
                        
Right now you're sick and tired
                                   (0h2 on -string)
You're feeling sad, you're feeling uninspired
                            
But the clock just won't slow down
                                (0h2 on -string)
Like it gets its kicks pushing you around, you around


[interlude - riff 1 (x2)]


[verse - riff 1 (x2)]
Maybe in the morning it won't be
Quite as bad as it seems


[chorus]
                           
But the fact that you can't change
                                (0h2 on -string)
The speed of sound, the rate of age
                   
Is an understatement to
                         (0h2 on -string)
A state of mind your not used to, used to


[bridge]
           (0h2 on -string)
    You'd be forever known
                       
As the boy who stopped the world
      (0h2 on -string)
And made his own


[outro-verse (fingerpick chorus chords lightly)]
                        
Right now you're sick and tired
                            (0h2 on -string)
You're feeling sad. feeling uninspired
                    
So I pray for you my friend
                                  
That you'll fall down, you'll give in


[outro - riff 1 (x4)]
You'll give in
