Capo: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
G Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
G Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
D Em
If I feel God judging me,
D Em
Well I fell into the water, and now I’m free.
Em
My friends they don’t really get me,
think I’m the only one
G D C Em
Well i sold my soul to Jesus and since then ive had no fun
Em
Behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
G D C Em
Inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face.
[Chorus]
Em D
He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em D
He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
[Verse 2]
Em
The wind and I, we speak the same, but he don’t hear so well.
D
You’re gonna have to curse him,
Em
Well you’re gonna have to yell.
Em
The sky and I, we’ve had our fights and I’m coming round to rain,
G D
If the rain come round and don’t go out,
C Em
and I’ll never have to speak again,
[Chorus]
Em D
I can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em D
Can tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
[Verse 3]
Em
The captains got his boots on and he’s heading out the door,
D Em
Leaving his lady alone thinkin' "He don’t love me no more."
Em
He’s done with all this bullshit,
He’s going back to war,
G D
If Heaven is as Heaven does,
C Em
then this is Hell for sure...
[Chorus]
Em D
And he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
Em D
He’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.
Em D
Another second lost with every fallen grain.
[Outro]
(verse 1)
G Em
You kick the blow, now you've gotta kick the guy.
G Em
You sat alone under billowing sky
D Em
If I feel God judging me,
D Em
Well I fell into the water, now I’m free.
