Topic: I Can't Catch Up
Was just strumming the guitar and thinking about all I need to get done this weekend. I started thinking about how nice it would be to slow time down and take a break. Anyway I hope you like it. It has a pretty quick tempo but slow it down at the end of the last chorus. Ah, you’ll figure it out I’m sure.

Verse 1
[Em]Look at that [G]clock
Up [Em]there on the [G]wall
Just [Em]ticking a[G]way
Taking [Em]no breaks at [G]all
It just [A]goes
That [G]clock on the [Em]wall [G] [Em] [G]
Verse 2
I [Em]want it to [G]stop
Or at [Em]least slow [G]down
There’s [Em]so much to [G]do

That [A]clock[G]
Just won’t slow [Em]down[G] [Em] [G]
Chorus
[A]There’s so [G]much I have to get [Em]done[G] [Em] [G]
[A]For work [G]and just for [Em]fun[G] [Em] [G]
[A]It seems I’m [G]always on the [Em]run[G] [Em] [G]
Trying to [B7]catch up
But I can’t [A]catch up[A7] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G]
Verse 3
Because [Em]time keeps [G]ticking
It [Em]keeps pressing [G]on
[Em]No rest for [G]no one
The [Em]weak or the [G]strong
So I [A]try [G]
But this road is [Em]long[G] [Em] [G]
Verse 4
So [Em]what are plans [G]for
If you [Em]never catch [G]up
Just when [Em]you think you’re [G]close
Is when [Em]time inter[G]rupts
Like your [A]life [G]
Is a half empty [Em]cup [G] [Em] [G]
Chorus
[A]There’s so [G]much I have to get [Em]done[G] [Em] [G]
[A]For work [G]and just for [Em]fun[G] [Em] [G]

But I can’t [A]catch up[A7] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G] [Em] [G]
Verse 5
[Em]No va[G]cation
You [Em]just get be[G]hind
Look a[Em]way for a [G]moment
And [Em]you’re out of [G]time
It’s so frus[A]trating [G]
But there’s no time for [Em]crying[G] [Em] [G]
Verse 6
So [Em]do what you [G]can
In the [Em]time that you’ve [G]got

And you [Em]can’t beat the [G]clock
So stop [A]trying [G]
But don’t [Em]stop [G] [Em] [G]
