[Verse 1]
A7                 Em7           
   I feel like I'm pounding on a big
A7
 door
           Em7
No one can hear me knocking,
A7                 Em7            
   I feel like I'm falling flat to
 A7
 the floor
           Em7
No one can catch me from falling,
D                                 
 The hourglass has no more grains 
   A/C#
of sand
My watch has stopped no more turning
 Bm
 hands
Bm
The crew have abandoned the ship
    C
+The lights are on but no one is in.


[Chorus]
A7
Take it to the bridge throw it 
overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the 
shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is 
out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds
 are down

A7
Take it to the bridge throw it 
overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the 
shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is 
out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds
 are down

A7                Em7          
  I feel like I'm calling on a 
A7
telephone
           Em7               A7
No one can hear the ringing,
A7                Em7          
  I feel like I'm running up a steep
A7
 hill
           Em7
No one can stop me from running,
D                                 
 The hourglass has no more grains 
   A/C#
of sand
My watch has stopped no more turning
 Bm
 hands
Bm
The little hand shakes its fist
    C
The face is hanging out on a spring.


[Chorus]
A7
Take it to the bridge throw it 
overboard
Em7
See if it can swim back up to the 
shore
A7
No one’s in the house everyone is 
out
Em7
All the lights are on and the blinds
 are down

A7                     Em7
Feels like I'm calling back to the 
shore
A7                   Em7

Feels like I'm falling flat to the 
floor
A7           Em7
  No one can catch me from falling..
