Bm D5 E
What's the time? Seems it's already morning

Bm D5 Esus4 E
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue

Bm D5 E
The tv's on, but the only thing showing

B Bm
is a picture of you

Bm D5 E
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee

Bm D5 Esus4 E
I try to read a book but the story's to thin

Bm D5 E
I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me

B Bm
in the shape I'm in


E B
Spending my time watching the days go by

C#m A
Feeling so small I stare at the wall

F#m A B
hoping that you think of me too

E
I'm spending my time



I try to call but I don't know what to tell you


I leave a kiss on your answering machine


Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me


wake up from this dream?


E B
Spending my time watching the days go by

C#m A
Feeling so small I stare at the wall

F#m A B
hoping that you are missing of me too

E B
I'm spending my time watching the sun go down

C#m A
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"

F#m Bm
a prayer gone blind


I'm spending my time


F#m A E
My friends keep telling me: hey life will go on,

F#m A E
time will make sure I'll get over you.

F#m A
This silly game of love

E B D (E)
You play, you win only to lose.


F# C#
Spending my time watching the days go by

D#m B
Feeling so small I stare at the wall

G#m B C#
hoping that you are missing of me too

F# C#
I'm spending my time watching the sun go down

D#m B
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"

G#m C#m
a prayer gone blind



Outro:

B C# F# G#
B C# F#

[Repeat to fade]



Esus4 (I think) is either played with a capo on the 2nd fret,
or barred at the 7th, like this:

e: 5 7
B: 5 10
G: 4 9
D: 2 9
A: x 7
E: x 7
