Joe Bonamassa - Time Clocks

[Intro]
D Db G G Gb Em Em Em A

[Bridge]
D Dsus2 G D Dsus2 G Gm x2

[Verse 1]
Bm
I was never a great puncher of time clocks
G
I was never the one who had lots
Bm
I was only good at one thing, ringing bells, kissing rings
G A
A heart can’t heal once padlocked

[Bridge]
D Dsus2 G D Dsus2 G Gm

[Verse 2]
Bm
I was never meant the one who was tedious
G
I was always wanted to be the one who leads us
Bm
On things that came to mind, never on someone else’s dime
G A
As the hunter explains to the fox

[Pre-Chorus]
D A D A

[Chorus]
D D Db
And the rain soaking through my coat
G G Gb
About to capsize my boat
Em
I push it a long way from thе docks
A
I was never a good puncher of timе clocks
D D Db
As the rain has chilled me to the bone
Bm Bm G
I’m flat-out tired and alone
Em
I put it away, now it’s locked
A
I was never a good puncher of time clocks

[Bridge]
D Dsus2 G D Dsus2 G Gm

[Verse 3]
Bm
I was never a teller of stories
G
Didn’t need to thrive on the glory
Bm
It’s about the life of a man, victim time and time again
G A
Hard as hell to get up in the morning

[Pre-Chorus]
D A D A

[Chorus]
D D Db
And the rain soaking through my coat
G G Gb
About to capsize my boat
Em
I push it a long way from thе docks
A
I was never a good puncher of timе clocks
D D Db
As the rain has chilled me to the bone
Bm Bm G
I’m flat-out tired and alone
Em
I put it away, now it’s locked
A
I was never a good puncher of time clocks

[Interlude]
D
Regrets to stoke the fires
Bm7
Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars
G
The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps
D
Too scared to look down in the deep

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Bm
Make no illusions about your forgone conclusions
G
Time will set you back, will all your wounds
Bm
If the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you
G A
Like a man typecast the fool
