G B
Goodbye, little alarm clock,
C D
You've given me great times.
G B C D
But lately, time's been slipping away from you.
C D G B
Why you've given up on me, I don't know.
C D
Alarm clock, don't be sour,
C D
You're losing all your power,
C D
It's your eleventh hour,
G
Time to go.
G B
I got you when I was ten,
C G
Things were simpler then.
C D G
You woke me up in time for the early-bird show.
G B
And later on that day,
C G
You woke me up okay,
C D G G7
In time for Simon Townsend's Wonderworld.
C
I slept a lot as a kid,
G
Oh, alarm clock, all the things we did.
Yeah, yeah.
C
Well, you didn't do much,
D(stop)
You just sat there making noise,
And now that's what I do for a living.

G B
And when my teenage years unfurled,
C G
When I brought home a girl,
C D G
You sat and watched and never judged me once.
G B
But not matter who it was,
C G
They came second because,
C D G G7
Alarm clock, it's always your face that I saw.
C
I was a pretty weird kid,
G
They said I loved you, and I did.
Yeah, yeah.
C(stop)
But they can keep their skateboards,
C(stop)
'Cause you go backwards and forwards,
D(stop)
Not unlike words like "glenelg" or "boob".
Play G B C D over spoken bit:
Goodbye, little alarm clock, goodbye.
How could I ever replace you?
Maybe I should get one of those atomic clocks,
That would suit me just well.

Why you've given up on me, I don't know.

Alarm clock, don't be sour,
C D

Goodbye, alarm clock, goodbye...
