Intro: F G Em7 Fsus2

F Lying in my bed I hear the C clock tick and think of you
F Caught up in circles confusion C is nothing new

F Flashback, warm G nights Em F
G Almost left Em behind
F Suitcases of G memories Em F
G Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear, what you've said

Then you say
Go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

G If you're lost you can look and you will find me Am7
Fadd9 G C Time after time

If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time After Time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time After Time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows
You're wondering if I'm OK
Secrets stolen
From deep inside
The drum beats out of time

G If you're lost you can look and you will find me Am7
Fadd9 G C Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

You said
Go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
