[Verse 1]
Bm
Bring up the reserve
D Em
What good does it serve down there?
F#7
Down there
Bm
I season a dream
D Em C#m F#
I wait for the steam and stare out there
[Verse 2]
Bm
A turn and a tick
D Em
Clock-cursing as if it cares
F#
It cares
Bm
As if it's to blame
D Em
For blowing over the card-house of fate
F#
Too late
[Chorus]
Bm D G Em
Ah, who needs a clock when the kettle's a'flame?
Bm D G Em
Watch your hands 'round the boiling steam
Bm D G Em
Does sun chase moon, or is it the other way?
Bm
Watched pot

Smash potwatching

No longer wait

Trace the trail of a crack

Resting there on your back in peace

Wait here patiently

Where you'll be counted just like sheep

'Til you fall asleep
[Bridge]
Bm D G Em
And as the doors close, your tea grows cold
Bm D
So it's back on the flame
G Em
But it's never the same

I'm standing in line

I'm checking the time
Bm D
Too hot to drink

So chop me a block of ice

A block of ice!

G D F# Bm
We were wasted by a quarter to nine
G D F# Bm
Two in the morning and you opened the wine

Friends of mine, may we never run out of time.

May we never run out
F# Bm
May we never run out of time

May we never run out

May we never run out of time

Bring up the reserve

Before I kill the nerve and fall asleep

Asleep
