[Verse 1]
[Em]Beat the clock, try to make it stop
Before time can draw the line
and cut you down to her size
Beat the clock,
[Baug]try to m[Em]ake it stop
Tell me, [C]how long will it take
before you fi[B]nally realize
That the [Em]carnival is [G]over
and [Em]you've [G]seen much better [D]days
You have [Em]wasted too much [G]time
in too many different [D]plays
You [Em]deny the possibility
of [C]growing old
You [D]are [Em]filled with false humility
You're [C]much too [D]bold[Em]
[F#][D][G][Em][B][Am][Adim]
[Em]Beat the clock
Try to make it stop
Be[B]fore [Em]time can draw [D]the line
And [Em]cut you down to her [Am]size[B]
[Em]Beat the clock, try to make it stop.
Tell me [C]how long will it take
before you fi[B]nally realize
That you're [Em]in this game
the [G]same as me,
although you think you're not
[D]When you try[Em] to rise above it,[G]
all you get just what you got
[D]Seems t[Em]o me you're slipping,
you [D]seem [C]slightly unnerved
[D]When [Em]you finally see yourself,
you [C]get what you [D]deserve[Em][D][Em][C#dim][C][B][Em]
[D][G][C#dim][C][D][Em]
[G][D][Em][G][D][Em][G][D][Em]
beat [B]the clock [Em]try to [D]make it stop
[Em]before time can draw the line
and cut you down to her [D]side.[Em][B]
[Em]Beat the clock,
[Baug]try to m[Em]ake it stop.
Tell me, [C]how long will it take
before you fi[B]nally realize
that the [Em]carnival is [G]over
and you've seen much better [D]days.
You have [Em]wasted too much [G]time
In too many different [D]ways
You [Em]deny the possibility
Of [C]growing old
You [D]are [Em]filled with false humility
[D]You're [C]much too [D]bold[Em]
I'm not a of the end the world
