I'm thinking in a straight line
I'm thinking that these thoughts are mine
F
My heart is beating oh so fast
I feel the hours crashing
C
G
E
Am
And my mind beats time like clockwork
C
G
E
Am
And I think in sync like clockwork
Am
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
F
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
Am
She's done away with emotion
F
She sees things clearly now
Am
She says she sees it all from her room
F
And it looks so small from her room
Am
It's all right, it's all right
F
I'm on your side...for a while
Am
She thinks time is the concept by which we measure our age
F
She wants to say it again, but she don't have time
C
G
E
Am
Because her mind beats time like clockwork
C
G
E
Am
And she thinks in sync like clockwork
Am
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
F
Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock
C
Bm
E
Count the hours, count the months and minutes
C
Bm
E
You're born in tears and you die in pain and that's your limit
C
Bm
You're lookin' for so many reasons but there's none
E
there, why don't you admit it
C
Bm
E
We make the most of what we've got, that's the ticket
Am
My, my, my
Am
I stayed in that room a long, long time
F
And watched the seasons gliding by
And hey...what's the matter?
We've got time, lots of time
It's alright, it's alright
I'm on your side for a while
We'll wind up
We'll slow down
We'll speed up, move around, or we'll maybe overwind...
C
G
E
Am
Because our minds beats time like clockwork
C
G
E
Am
And now we think in sync like clockwork ooh ooh ooh
There was a lot of rocking going on that night
Cruising time for the young, bright lights
Just down past the gasworks, by the meat factory door
C
The five lamp boys were coming on strong
G
Em
The Saturday night city beat had already started
And the punks, the corner boys just sprang into action
And young Billy watched under the yellow street light
C
D
Em
And said tonight of all nights there's gonna be a fight
G
Em
Billy don't like it living here in this town (He Says)
Traps have been sprung long before he was born (He Says)
Hope bites the dust behind all the closed doors
And pus and grime ooze from its scab-crusted sores
C
There's screaming and crying in the high-rise blocks
G
D
It's a rat trap, Billy, but you're already caught
Em
And you can make it if you want to or you need it bad enough
C
You're young and good-looking and you're acting kind of tough
G
D
Anyway it's Saturday night, time to see what's going down
Em
Put on the right suit, Billy, head for the right side of town
C
It's only eight o'clock, but you're already bored
G
D
You don't know what it is, but there's got to be more
Em
You'd better find a way out, hey, kick down that door
C
D
Em
It's a rat trap and you've been caught
Am
Em
In this town Billy says everybody's trying to tell you what to do
In this town Billy says everybody says you gotta follow rules
Am
You walk up to the traffic lights
You switch from your left to your right
You push in that button, and that button throws a light and it says
Well little Judy's tryin' to watch Top Of The Pops
But Mum an' Dad are fighting, don't they ever stop?
She takes up her coat and walks down to the street
It's cold on that road but it's got that home beat
C
Deep down in her pocket she finds 50p
G
D
Hey is that any way for a young girl to be?
Em
I gonna get out of school work in some factory
C
Oh with all the hours god gave me
G
D
Em
Get myself a little easy money na na na na na na na na na na na
Em
Am
Her mind's made up she walks down the road
F#m
B
Her hands in her pockets coat buttoned against the cold
Em
Am
She finally finds Billy down the Italian cafe
C
When he's drunk it's hard to understand what Billy Says
G
D
But then he mumbles in his coffee and he suddenly roars
Em
G
Em
It's a rat trap Judy, and we've been caught!
G
Em

On a night like this I deserve to get kissed
G
At least once or twice
C
You come over to my place screaming blue murder
G
Needing some place to hide
C
Well, I wish you'd keep quiet, imaginations run riot
G
In these paper-thin walls
C
And when the place comes ablaze with a thousand dropped names
G
I don't know who to call
Bm
But I got a friend over there in the government block
C
And he knows the situation and he's taking stock
D
C
I think I'll call him up now, put him on the spot, tonight
G
C
G
Na na ... Na na ...
C
They saw me there in the square when I was shooting my mouth off
G
About saving some fish
C
Now could that be construed as some radical's views
G
Or some liberals' wish
Bm
And it's so hot outside, and the air is so sweet
C
And when the pressure drop is heavy I don't wanna hear you speak
D
You know most killing is committed at 90 degrees
D7
When it's too hot to breathe and it's too hot to think
G
C
D
There's always someone looking at you, oh-oh oh-oh
There's always someone looking at you, oh-oh oh-oh
There's always someone looking at you, oh-oh oh-oh

Tonight, they're looking at you tonight

And I wish you'd stop whispering
C
G
Don't flatter yourself, nobody's listening
C
G
But it makes me nervous, those things you say
C
You may as well shout it from the roof
G
Scream it from your lungs, and spit it from you mouth
C
It could fall on deaf ears to indulge in your fears
D
There's a spy in the sky, there's a noise on the wire
D7
There's a tap on the line for every paranoid's desire
G
C
D
There's always someone looking at you, oh-oh oh-oh
There's always someone looking at you, oh-oh oh-oh

They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
They're always looking at you
On a night like this I deserve to get kissed
At least once or twice
