note: play main riff throughout all the verses



Sometimes when you lose your way to me

I think you don't care at all

If you don't get here soon

I'll tear that clock down from the wall

Your family and friends don't understand

They treat me so strange

The book you said to read

Well I have read but nothings changed


      A                   B
The clocks go forward the clocks go back
      G#m            C#m          A
Yet here I sit as if I were the only one
   (main riff)
And oh you cannot hear me

Oh you cannot hear me

Can anybody hear me out there


(main riff)
He's up on high horse again

You're down in the park

I'm left to fight my impulses alone here in the dark

The chain that fell off my bike last night

Is now wrapped round my heart

Sometimes I think that

Fate has been against us from the start


    A                 B
I long to let our love run free
     G#m          C#m       A
Yet here I am a victim of geography
(main riff)
And oh you cannot hear me

Oh you cannot hear me

Can anybody hear me out there


          A                    B
She said kiss me or would you rather
    G#m                   C#m         A
Live in a land where the soap won't lather
(main riff)
And oh...

You know you are the only one

Yes you are the only one

Yes you are the only one
