The Captain And The Hourglass

[Em]

You kick the [G]blow, now you've gotta kick the [Em]guy.
You sat a[G]lone under billowing [Em]sky
If I feel [D]God judging [Em]me,
Well I fell into the [D]water, and now I’m [Em]free.

My f[Em]riends they don’t really get me,

think I’m the only one
Well i s[G]old my soul to J[D]esus and since t[C]hen ive had no [Em]fun
Behind e[Em]very tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace
Inside e[G]very man is a h[D]eart of sand you can s[C]ee it in his f[Em]ace.

He’ll t[Em]ick tick tick tick tick tick tick a[D]way.
Another s[Em]econd lost with every fallen gr[D]ain.
He’ll t[Em]ick tick tick tick tick tick tick a[D]way.
Another s[Em]econd lost with every fallen g[D]rain.

The w[Em]ind and I, we speak the same, but he don’t hear so well.
You’re g[D]onna have to curse him,
Well you’re g[Em]onna have to yell.
The s[Em]ky and I, we’ve had our fights and I’m coming round to rain,
If the r[G]ain come round and d[D]on’t go out,
and I’ll n[C]ever have to speak a[Em]gain,

I can t[Em]ick tick tick tick tick tick tick a[D]way.
Another s[Em]econd lost with every fallen gr[D]ain.
Can t[Em]ick tick tick tick tick tick tick a[D]way.
Another s[Em]econd lost with every fallen g[D]rain.

The c[Em]aptains got his boots on and he’s heading out the door,
L[D]eaving his lady alone thinkin' "[Em]He don’t love me no more."
He’s d[Em]one with all this bullshit,

He’s going back to war,
If H[G]eaven is as H[D]eaven does,
then t[C]his is Hell for s[Em]ure...

And he’ll t[Em]ick tick tick tick tick tick tick a[D]way.
Another s[Em]econd lost with every fallen gr[D]ain.
He’ll t[Em]ick tick tick tick tick tick tick a[D]way.
Another s[Em]econd lost with every fallen g[D]rain.

You kick the [G]blow, now you've gotta kick the [Em]guy.
You sat a[G]lone under billowing [Em]sky
If I feel [D]God judging [Em]me,
Well I fell into the [D]water, now I’m [Em]free.
