And so

Time
C G F C
Oh
VERSE:
C G F C C G F C
The clock never stops, never stops, never waits
G/B Am G
She's growing old

It's getting late
F G
And so he forgot, he forgot
Am
Maybe not
D F
Maybe he's been seriously hurt
G C G F C
Would that be worse?

Headlights crest the hill

Shadows pass her by and out of sight

Annie sees her dreams:
F C Gm Bb6
Friday bingo, pigeons in the park
CHORUS:
C G F C G F C
Annie waits for the last time
C G F C
Just the same as the last time

And so

Annie waits as the last...
PRECHORUS:

Who will be the one forever more?

Annie, I could be

If we're both still lonely when we're old

But not for me
