Ab Fm Ab Fm

Verse 1:

Ab
I had a farmhouse
Fm
With a grandfather clock
Ab           Fm
Where I would teach time to my son
Ab
Our lessons began
  Fm
At twelve o'clock sharp
     Ab  Db        Eb
When the hands would come in as one

Verse 2:

       B        Gb
I'd say "The big hands count minutes,
   B     Dbm7
it's so tightly wound
  Gb                   Ab   Db
It chases the small hand, to make hours go round"

Pre-chorus:

Ab     Fm
I taught Thomas

Constellations in the sky
    Ab    Db     Eb
To tell a silver maple from a cottonwood
 Ab   Fm
I taught Thomas

To divide and multiply
Ab         Eb
But what he never understood was

Chorus:

Gb
Time, as I watched him grow
Db
Time, he would never know
Ab            Db
Time, where my regret resides
Gb
Time, if I only knew
Db
The what and how and who
          Eb Cm Ab Fm
That time truly divides

Verse 3:

Ab
There was a farmhouse
Fm
With a grandfather clock
Ab            Fm
Where one day I woke up alone
Ab
They feared I was magic
Fm
They feared I was cursed
Ab
But mostly they feared the unknown

Verse 4:

Bb
The big hand's the father
           Db
The small hand's the son
     Bb  Bbm  Eb
And there never came a time
            Ab Fm
When they came back as one


Ab           Fm
I taught Thomas how to catch a firefly
    Ab       Db       Eb
How to make a pebble skip and rowboat skim
Ab         Fm
She took Thomas and never said goodbye
Ab          Db      Eb
The one thing I could never give to him

Chorus:
  Db  Ab
Was time
Db  Eb
Time
Ab  Bbm Bb  Eb
I'm left with nothing
      Ab Fm
Nothing but time

Ab Fm
