Dm  A|-5--5-5--5--555--5-5-|
I can hear the time bomb as it ticks and it ticks E|---------------------|
Bb kinda hard to tab it out really
Not long to go now, no more will we stand just listen to it and you should
Dm get the feel for it.
Invincible, sure and superior
We are Gmfallible weak and inferior
As we Dmslip and we slide down the long mountainside
We’re the debris of a lost human tide

***********
There's a Dmfeeling I can feel
As the Gmclockwork clicks around
There's a F#mshadow after A7me
And it Bbwaits without a sound
I'm so Dmtired of standing by
While the Gmfates design my life
They Dmnever tell me F#mwhy
The world must Dmdie!

CHORUS
*******
As Dmtime slips through my fingers
There's a Fmvoid where the hope used to be
As Dmtime flows through my fingers
We see Fmvisions that no one should see
And it's C#cold
So G#mcold out here
And it's C#cold
When there's Dmso much to fear
-----------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
*******
As Dmtime slips through my fingers
I am Fmblinded and alone
As Dmtime flows through my fingers
I am Fmhaunted by demons I have always known
And it's C#cold
So G#mcold out here
And it's C#cold
When there's Fmso much to fear… so near!
Dm
