Like Clockwork - Queens of the Stone Age
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
Intro
Verse 1:
Everyone it se
ems,
has somewhere
to go.
And the faster
the world spi
ns,
the shorter th
e lights will
glow.
And I'm swimmi
ng in the nigh
t.
chasing down t
he moon.
The deeper in
the water
the more I lon
g for you
Chorus 1:
And most of wh
at you see my
dear is purely
for show
because not ev
erything that
goes around co
mes back aroun
d you know
Holding on too
long is just
a fear of lett
ing go,
because not ev
erything that
goes around co
mes back aroun
d you know
One thing that
is clear, it'
s all downhill
from here.

Verse 2:
The love light
in your hand,
cleverly disgu
ised.
All the promis
es of stone,
crumble in the
night.
Chorus 2:
Most of what y
ou see my dear
is worth lett
ing go
because not ev
erything that
goes around co
mes back aroun
d you know
Holding on too
long is just
fear of what t
o show
because not ev
erything that
goes around co
mes back aroun
d you know
not everything
that goes aro
und comes back
around you kn
ow
One thing that
is clear, it'
s all downhill
from here
