Killing Time

Tom: Am

C                                          Am
The outline's drawn, only colour's left to fade,
                    F                            G
We need to fix the frame, to hang it on the wall again.
C                                            Am
The corner's torn and the blacks are turning grey,
                          F                          G
All the shading's rubbed away and the canvas slowly frays.


[Pre-Chorus]
F          G   Em      Am   G
Too much time, wasted fighting.
F          G    Em         Am   G
All this time, we've been sliding...
F        G Em       Am F    G
Backwards, backwards, back.


[Chorus]
         F
We got time tonight,
                   Em
Set the hands on fire,
          Am
Watch the room ignite,
          G
Spend the night just killing time.
      F
Don't decide tonight,
                   Em
We'll just start a fire,
          Am
Watch it light the sky,
               G
Just spend the night killing time.


[Verse 2]
      C                      Am
Every brush has got a broken end,
                      F                              G
For all the time it's spent, I'm done with trying to mend.
            C                       Am
Amongst the dust I search to find a pen,
                         F                              G
Don't wanna start it all again, just wanna make what we intend.


[Pre-Chorus]
F         G     Em      Am  G
Too much time, wasted fighting.
F         G      Em        Am    G
All this time, we've been sliding...
F      G    Em     Am  F   G
Backwards, backwards, back.


[Chorus]
         F
We got time tonight,
                   Em
Set the hands on fire,
          Am
Watch the room ignite,
          G
Spend the night just killing time.
      F
Don't decide tonight,
                   Em
We'll just start a fire,
          Am
Watch it light the sky,
               G
Just spend the night just killing time.


[Outro]
       F
We got time tonight,
       Em
We can feed the fire,
         Am
With our hopeless lies.
          G                        F Em
Spend the night just killing time,
        Am      G
Killing time...
F   G      E  Am G    F   G  Em
Backwards, backwards, back.
