C    C    D/F#    G    

[Verse]
Em                          Em/F#    B
      Concrete hands picked up the telephone ring
G            A                Em
    "Do you know who you're talking to?"
Em/F#     G                        A
                      "No, and I don't care who"
Em                        Em/F#    B
      She whispered quiet terror news
G       A
             He didn't give a hoot

Said, "Do what you have to do"

[Chorus] (x4)
C    C    D/F#    G    

[Verse]
Em                 Em/F#    B
    All she had to do was speak
    G           A
Mouthpiece to cheek
         Em
"Please say no more
Em/F#     G            A                   Em
                  I'm lying here on the ground
           Em/F#    B
A strip of wet concrete"
G         A
            Her name was just a broken sound

A stutter step you hear when you're falling down

[Chorus]
C    C    D/F#    G
C                   D/F#      G
Killing time won't stop this crying
C                   D/F#      G
Killing time won't stop this crying
C                   D/F#      G
Killing time won't stop this crying

[Bridge]
           C                      Em            Em/F# Em/G  A
You better start watching what message that you send now
C                                  Em         Em/F# Em/G  A
     No more situations, I only go in to be kicked out
C                                            Em          Em/F# Em/G  A
        He got knocked down leaving like he ran into a clothesline
C                           Em          Em/F# Em/G  A
And remembered a couple of words that hid a crime

"You're just fine
                          A5     Asus4   A
You'll be just fine

But I'm on the other line"

[Chorus]
C    C    D/F#    G
C                  D/F#      G
Killing time won't stop this crying
C                  D/F#      G
Killing time won't stop this crying
C                  D/F#      G
Killing time won't stop this crying
