Sleep the clock around

Intro: E B C#m A

                    E
        And the moment will come 
when composure returns
                   B
        Put a face on the world, 
turn your back to the wall
                C#m
        And you walk twenty yards 
with your head in the air
                      A
        Down the Liberty Hill, where
 the fashion brigade
                  E
        Look with curious eyes on 
your raggedy way
                B
        And for once in your life 
you have nothing to say
                  C#m
        And could this be the time 
when somebody will come
                 A
        To say, "Look at yourself, 
you're not much use to anyone".....

        ( E B C#m A )

               E
        Take a walk in the park, 
take a valium pill
                 B
        Read the letter you got from
 the memory girl

        But it takes more than this 
to make sense of the day
                A
        Yeah it takes more than milk
 to get rid of the taste
                E
        And you trusted to this, and
 you trusted to that
                 B
        And when you saw it all 
come, it was waving the flag
               C#m
        Of the United States of 
Calamity, hey!
                  A
        After all that you've done 
boy, Im sure you're going to 
pay.....

                E
        In the morning you come to 
the ladies salon
                 B
        To get all fitted out for 
The Paperback Throne
                C#m
        But the people are living 
far away from the place
              A
        Where you wanted to help, 
it's a bit of a waste
                E
        And the puzzle will last 
till somebody will say
                   B
        "There's a lot to be done 
while your head is still young"
               C#m
        If you put down your pen, 
leave your worries behind
                 A
        Then the moment will come, 
and the memory will shine.....

                E
        Now the trouble is over, 
everybody got paid
             B
        Everybody is happy, they are
 glad that they came
                 C#m
        Then you go to the place 
where you've finally found
                 A
        You can look at yourself 
sleep the clock around
