Chorus:
Bm
Watching the time
D
bomb ticking away
Em
Watching the time
A
bomb nobody cares
G Em
Till it's too late
Bm
Watching the time
D
bomb ticking away
Em
Watching the time
A
bomb you better pray
G D Em D Em D Em D Em
You're somewhere safe
F#m
Where transfixed on a pendulum sky
A E D Bm
Watch another tank of gasoline run dry
F#m
A death stare from a cold dead eye
A
As you're chopping up the carrot
E D Bm
Sharpening their knives
F#m
Don't blink keep your eyes on
A
the prize While you rip me into
E D Bm
pieces Cut me down to size
F#m
Don't dare try to keep it inside
A
Cause the only way to make us
E D Bm
laugh Is to make us cry
Bm A G
Just when you
Em
thought you've
A Bm A G
seen it all
Em
A storm awaits
A Bm A G
behind the door
Em
Disgruntled right
A
down to the core
Em
We still go on
Chorus
Beat up, put the slate go the grind
Another rocket launcher going off inside my mind
Tight cuffs only hold me tight
Every thought about the future
Leaves me terrified
I'm sick of the same old lies
"Why don't you talk about your feelings?"
Who gives a shit 'bout mine?
Death grips got a hold of my side
Cause the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Just when you
thought you've
seen it all
A storm awaits
behind the door
Disgruntled right
down to the core
We still go on
Chorus:
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb nobody cares
'Till it's too late
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb you better pray
You're somewhere safe
Oh we got a time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Watching the time bomb ticking away
Chorus:
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
Everybody needs a little help
When the world is blind
You're watching the time bomb ticking away inside
And the only way to make us laugh
Is to make us cry
You're watching the time (bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time (bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time (bomb ticking away)
You're watching the time
(Our world's got another day)
You're watching the time
(Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time
(This world is a bitter place)
You're watching the time
(Our world's got another day)
You're watching the time
(Locked up in a little cage)
You're watching the time
(This world is a bitter place)
