Countdown Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh I was seventeen,
When I heard the countdown start,
it started slowly,
And I thought it was my heart
but then I realised,
[Dm]That this time it was for real
there was no place to hide,
I had to go out and feel,
But there was time [Am]to kill,
And so I, I walked my way around town,
I tried to love the world,
Oh but [A]the world just [Am]got me down,
And so [Dm]I looked for you,
In every street of every town
I wanted to see your face,
I want to, I want to see [Am]you now.
I want to see you now.
Oh and so it went,
Oh so it went for several
years I couldn't stand it
No, oh it must be getting near now that
You just [Dm]don't know,
Oh no you, you just don't understand
how many people have seen you,
In the arms of, of of some other man,
I've got to [Am]meet you, and find you,
And take you by the hand, oh my God
My God, you've got to understand,
That I was seven[Dm]teen.
I didn't, I didn't know a thing at all.
I've got no reason,
I've got no reason at all, Oh [G]no.[Am]
The [G]time, of my [Dm]life,
Oh I think you came too [Am]soon,
Yeah you came too soon then,
Oh and [G]it could, it could be tonight,
[Dm]If I ever leave this room,[Am]
(I never leave this room no)
Oh I [G]wasted all my time on all [Dm]those stupid
things that only get me [Am]down,
Get down, oh.
Oh and [G]the sky,
Is crying out tonight,
[Dm]For me to leave this town,[Am]
So I'm gonna leave this town.
Goodbye.
O.K.
Yeah you can leave me,
Oh you, you can go some other place,
You can't forget it.
Yeah, you know,
you know that's O.K.
[G]'cause, 'cause I own [Dm]this town,
Yeah, I brought it to its knees,
Can you hear it crying?
Can you?
Can you hear it begging to me "Please?"
I know it's com[Am]ing,
So soon now
Oh, oh it's on it's way.
Oh no, oh no, oh I can hear them say,
They say I can't sur[Dm]vive,
They say I, I'll never leave the ground,
They say it's all a lie,
And now, and now it's coming down,
[G]Oh baby [Am]now,
[G]Time, of my [Dm]life,
oh I think you came [G]too [Am]soon.
Yeah you came too soon now,
Oh and [G]it could, oh it could be tonight,
[Dm]If I ever leave this room,[Am]
(I never leave this room now)
Oh oh oh
I [G]wasted all my time on all those [Dm]stupid
things that only get me [Am]down.
Get down, oh
Oh and [G]the sky, is crying out tonight,
[Dm]For me to leave this town,[Am]
So I'm gonna go, gonna be there,
I'm gonna go.
Bub-bye.
It's It's O.K,
You don't have to [Dm]care.[C][Am]
Really.
Oh, oh really, I swear,
No, no you owe me nothing,
You owe nothing to me,
And if I messed it up baby,
Then, that's all up to [C]me.
[Am]And if you go, then, then I won't follow,
no, no
'cause so many times I've been,
I've been thinking maybe,
oh maybe I should
No, I, I'm gonna stay
I, I'm gonna make my way
Oh, I'm gonna get on through babe
I'm gonna make it all some day
Oh, [G]time, of my life,
[Dm]No I think you c[Am]ame too [G]soon,
You came too soon [Am]then.
[G]Oh and it could, it could be tonight,
[Dm]If I ever [Am]leave this[G] room,[Am]
(I never, I never leave this room, no)
Oh oh oh
I [G]wasted all my time on all those stu
[Dm]pid things that only get m[Am]e down
Get down, oh
And [G]the sky, is crying out tonight,
[Dm]For me to leave this town.[Am]
So I'll leave this town.
The [G]sky, is crying out tonight,
[Dm]For me to leave this[G] town,[Am]
