Am                     F     Am    B7    E
Wait forever for this: Tick, tick, tick, tick
Am                       F     Am    B7    E
Legs have fallen asleep, tick, tick, tick, tick
Am               F      Am   B7     E
Persevering under cover of permafrost
Am                 F    Am    B7    E                    
Nervous and bashful and sick, sick, sick

Am                        F     Am    B7    E
Trying to stifle a cough, tick, tick, tick, tick
Am                      F     Am    B7    E
Buried under the house, tick, tick, tick, tick

Dm 
Setting fire to a draft of the flow chart
Am
Eating pages of the mission statement
Ebm
Waking up from fitful dreams with
Bm               E
A blood curdling scream

Am                          F     Am    B7    E
Heart rate down to a crawl, tick, tick, tick, tick
Am                         F     Am    B7    E
Empty but for one thought: Tick, tick, tick, tick
Am                     F       Am  B7    E
The eyes move first and then the mandibles
Am            F       Am     B7     E
Beginning slowly then quick, quick, quick

Am                       F     Am    B7    E     F     Am    B7    E
Getting closer with each tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick
