Dm/C  C     Dm/C  C        Dm/C  C         Dm/C     C
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, and think of you

Dm/C   C     Dm/C C       Dm/C C        Dm/C    C
Caught up in cir -cles confu - sion, is nothing new

F    G    Em   F            G      Em
Flashback warm night almost left behind

F   G       Em  F          G
Suitcase of memories, time after...

Dm/C C         Dm/C    C       Dm/C C        Dm/C  C
Some-times you picture me, I'm wal -king too far  ahead

Dm/C   C       Dm/C  C     Dm/C  C          Dm/C   C
You're calling to    me, I can't hear, what you've said

     F   G   Em F       G      Em
Then you say go slow; I fall behind

F     G      Em     F
  The second-hand unwinds
