My Grandfather's Clock (Emo Version)

Early 2000s Screamo/Emo, Slow, Acoustic, Drums

[Intro: (Drums with a Tick-Tock rhythm)]  
My grandfather's clock was too large for the shelf  
So it stood ninety years on the floor  
It was taller by half than the old man himself  
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more

[Break: Instrumental]

[Verse 1]  
It was bought on the morn of the day he was born  
And was always his treasure and pride 
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
But it stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died

[Pre-Chorus]  
Ninety years without slumbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)
His life seconds numbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)

[Chorus]  
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died  
His life seconds numbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died

[Break: Instrumental - Drums Enter]

[Verse 2]  
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro  
Many hours he spent as a boy
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)   
And in childhood and manhood, the clock seemed to know  
And to share both his grief and his joy

[Pre-Chorus]  
Ninety years without slumbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)
His life seconds numbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)

[Chorus]  
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died  
His life seconds numbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died

[Break: Instrumental]  
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died!

[Verse 3]  
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night  
An alarm that for years had been dumb 
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
And we knew that his spirit was pluming its flight  
That his hour of departure had come

[Pre-Chorus]  
Ninety years without slumbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)
His life seconds numbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
His life seconds numbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
It stopped—tick, tock

[Final Chorus]  
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died  
His life seconds numbering  
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
Tick, tock
(Tick, tock, tick, tock)  
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died

[Outro]  
His life seconds numbering 
Tick, tock, tick, tock  
Tock...
Tock...
It stopped, short—never to go again  
When the old man died
Tick, tock, tick
(Tick, tock, tick, tock) 
Tick, tock, tick
(Tick, tock, tick, tock) 
Tick, tock
Tick, tick, tock
