[Verse 1]
           Em               Am       D
What's the time? Seems it's already morning
          Em           C              Dadd9
I see the sky, it's so beautiful and blue
         Em          C          D
The tv's on, but the only thing showing
                A   Am
is a picture of you
         Em     Am               D
Oh I get up and make myself some coffee
         Em                  C          Dadd9
I try to read a book but the story's to thin
            Em              C                  D
I thank the lord above that you're not here to see me
                 A Am
in the shape I'm in
 
[Chorus]
            D                  A
Spending my time watching the days go by
           Bm                    G (barred 3rd fret)
Feeling so small I stare at the wall
            Em  G           A
hoping that you think of me too
                Bm
I'm spending my time
 
[Verse 2]
         Em         Am                 D
I try to call but I don't know what to tell you
          Em           C             Dadd9
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
           Em                C              Dadd9
Oh help me please, is there someone who can make me
                     A   Am
wake up from this dream?
 
[Chorus]
            D                 A
Spending my time watching the days go by
           Bm                     G (barred 3rd fret)
Feeling so small I stare at the wall
            Em      G             A
hoping that you are missing of me too
                D                 A
I'm spending my time watching the sun go down
                     Bm                    G (barred 3rd fret)
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"
           Em       A
a prayer gone blind
                Bm
I'm spending my time
 
[Bridge]
Em          G                    D            C
 My friends keep telling me: hey life will go on,
Em        G                   D
 time will make sure I'll get over you.
Em          G
 This silly game of love
    D             A        C    B
You play, you win only to lose.
 
[Chorus]
            E                 B
Spending my time watching the days go by
           C#m (barred 4th fret) A
Feeling so small I stare at the wall
            F#m      A            B
hoping that you are missing of me too
                E                 B
I'm spending my time watching the sun go down
                     C#m                    A
I fall asleep to the sound of "Tears of a Clown"
            F#m      B
a prayer gone blind
