[Verse 1]
Em7
How many of you people out there been hurt in some kind of love affair?
A B
And how many times did you swear that you'd never love again?
Em7
How many lonely, sleepless nights? How many lies, how many fights?
A B
And why would you wanna put yourself through all of that again?
Em7
Love is pain I hear you say love is a cruel and bitter way of
A B
paying you back for all the faith you ever had in your brain
How could it be that what you need the most
Em7
can leave you feeling just like a ghost?
A B
You never want to feel so sad and lost again
Dmaj7
One day you could be looking through an old book in rainy weather
B A
You see a picture of her smiling at you when you were still together
B Dmaj7
You could be walking down the street and who should you chance to meet?
B
But that same old smile you've been thinking of all day?
[Chorus]
B
Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey?
Em7
I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money,
A B
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock all the way back
Em7 A B
I wonder if she'll take me back, I'm thinking in a brand new way
Em7
Turn the clock to zero sister, you'll never know how much I missed her
A B
starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero boss
Em7 A B
the rivers wide we'll swim across, we're starting up a brand new day
[Verse 2]
It could happen to you just like it happened to me
Em A
There is simply no immunity there's no guarantee
B
I say love is such a force if you find yourself in it
Em
you need some time for reflection you say, baby wait a minute
wait a minute wait a minute, wait a minute wait a minute, wait a minute
[Chorus]
B
Why don't we turn the clock to zero honey?
Em7
I'll sell the stock we'll spend all the money
A B
We're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero back,
Em7 A B
I wonder if she'll take me back, I'm thinking in a brand new way
Turn the clock to zero boss,
Em7 A B
the rivers wide we'll swim across, we're starting up a brand new day
Turn the clock to zero back,
Em7 A B
Don't wanna be no fuddy duddy, we're Starting up a brand new day
[Bridge]
Em7
I'm the rhythm in your tune, I'm the sun and you're the moon
A B
I'm the bat and you're the cave, you're the beach and I'm the wave
Em7
I'm the plough and you're the land, you're the glove and I'm the hand
A G
I'm the train and you're the station, I'm the flagpole to your nation
[Instrumental]

[Outro]
B Em7
Stand up, all you lovers in the world
A B
Stand up and be counted, every boy and every girl
Em7 A G
Stand up, all you lovers in the world we're starting up a brand new day
B Em7
You're the crop to my rotation you're the sum of my equation
A B
I'm the answer to your question if you follow my suggestion
Em7
We could turn this ship around and go up instead of down
A G B
You're the pan and I'm the handle you're the flame and I'm the candle
