Seven Seconds To Breakdown Cifras

[Intro]
      G                         F
She felt time move faster every day she lived
  Em
Minutes become seconds
         D
And the sands run through her fingertips
 
[Verse 1]
       C
She's 18 and a state
                   B
Drinks thirteen coffees a day
              G
But they grow cold, she's lost control
              A
As all the light fades away
 
                C
Her birthdays pass in a flash
               B
Wishing those easy days back
             Em                 Em/D#
Imaginary friends, baked cookies, make dens
                G                   A
But time's in charge and everything ends
 
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!)
 
[Chorus]
G                       F
   Seven seconds to breakdown
                 Dm
What makes you whole now?
              C                G
Doubled your age, but half alive
                        F
Gum and "six"-pence in your purse
                  Dm
You're living in reverse
                   C                Em
Oh, babe, you've wasted all your time
                D                   G
Why not take five? Four-get your mind?
          C                    Em
It's not like we get three lives
             D                     B7/D#
"Two" overcome with all you haven't done
Too late!

[Verse 2]
 G
Last week she tried yoga
             F
Bought a scrunchie and a mat
Em
New things help the time move slow
       Cm
The internet told her that
                C
She'd reached a 20-and-5
              B
Blue-beaten trainers were tied
             G                           A
But simply couldn't outrun the constant pacing of time
           C
The tick-a-tok of the clock
               B
Just take your time, babe, and stop
                Em                    Em/D#
But taking's a task, cause how do you clasp
                G                        A
The passage of time when it's moving so fast?
 
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!)
 
[Chorus]
G                    F
   Seven seconds to breakdown
                 Dm
What makes you whole now?
             C                  G
Doubled your age, but half alive
                         F
Gum and "six"-pence in your purse
                     Dm
You're living in reverse
                   C                Em
Oh, babe, you've wasted all your time
              D                    G
Why not take five? Four-get your mind?
          C                    Em
It's not like we get three lives
          D                      B7/D#
"Two" overcome with all you haven't done
Too late!

[Bridge]
              Bm
And now she's sat at your bed
                A
Counting the breaths in her head
G
Trying hard to memorize all that you've said
   Bm
At 35, the time stopped
             A
A goodbye shared at this spot
G
To the one who taught her how to read the hands of a watch
 
[Chorus]
Bm                    A
  Seven seconds to breakdown
                 D
What makes you whole now?
            Em
Blinded by time when she's half-alive
Bm                          A
  "Call it 6," writes down the nurse
                        D
No, clocks can't be reversed
                 Em              Em/C
Oh, babe, you wasted all your time
              D                   G
Why not take five? Four-get your mind?
          C                 Em
It's not like we get three lives
            D                       B7/D#
"Two" overcome with all you haven't done
 
Too late!
