Goodbye, little alarm clock,
CD
You've given me great times.
GBCD
But lately, time's been slipping away from you.
CDGB
Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
CD
Alarm clock, don't be sour,
CD
You're losing all your power,
CD
It's your eleventh hour,
G
Time to go.
GB
I got you when I was ten,
CG
Things were simpler then.
CDG
You woke me up in time for the early-bird show.
GB
And later on that day,
CG
You woke me up okay,
CDGG7
In time for Simon Townsend's Wonderworld.
C
I slept a lot as a kid,
G
Oh, alarm clock, all the things we did.
Yeah, yeah.
C
Well, you didn't do much,
D (stop)
You just sat there making noise,
And now that's what I do for a living.

GB
And when my teenage years unfurled,
CG
When I brought home a girl,
CDG
You sat and watched and never judged me once.
GB
But not matter who it was,
CG
They came second because,
CDGG7
Alarm clock, it's always your face that I saw.
C
I was a pretty weird kid,
G
They said I loved you, and I did.
Yeah, yeah.
C (stop)
But they can keep their skateboards,
C (stop)
'Cause you go backwards and forwards,
D (stop)
Not unlike words like \"glenelg\" or \"boob\".
Play G B C D over spoken bit:
Goodbye, little alarm clock, goodbye.
How could I ever replace you?
Maybe I should get one of those atomic clocks,
That would suit me just well.

Goodbye, alarm clock, goodbye...
