Lyrics
Tick Tock
Intro: Johns starts w guitar feedback then Bass (2x)
Then everyone comes in with E G A (2x)
Then shred Em to G (2x)
*** Tick tock I see the clock, its stroking half past 12
With a grin in her eye and no place to hide, this family?s gone through hell
Water all around and no place to swim, you reach up for the raft
That?s tick tock I cant see the clock, fuck you and that?s the shaft?.
E G A (4x)
Wastin all my time to get from here to there
Working way too hard to simply get my share
Some say future now the present and the past
Take a good look around we ain?t supposed to last
E mj D A
Chorus I cant believe that this is the end?
All the time that we get to spend ?
E D A D A
I look for you in crowded places, stare into blank empty faces
E D A E D A
Where did you go?..where did you go??
Where did you go ?..where did you go??
Guitar & Bass Solo (2x)
E minor shredder (2x)
Tick tock I see the clock, its stroking half past 12
With a grin in her eye and no place to hide, this family?s gone through hell
Water all around and no place to swim, you reach up for the raft
That?s tick tock I cant see the clock, fuck you and that?s the shaft?.
E G A (4x).
E mj D A
Chorus I cant believe that this is the end?
All the time that we get to spend ?
