[F#m] [A] [E]
[F#m] Ticking away the moments
that make up [A] a dull day
You [E] fritter and waste
the hours in and off hand [F#m] way
[F#m] Kicking around on
a piece of ground in your [A] hometown
[E] Waiting for someone or
something to show you the [F#m] way
[D9] Tired of lying in the sunshine
[A9] Staying home to watch the rain
[D9] You are young and life is long
[A9] There is time to [A] kill to day
[D9] And then one day you find
[C#m7] Ten years have got behind you
[Bm7] No one told you when to run
01-Sep-2007 [E] You missed the
[F#m] starting [A] gun [E]
And you [F#m] run you run to catch up
with the sun but its [A] sinking
Ra [E] cing around to come up
behind you aga [F#m] in
The [F#m] sun is the same in
the relative way but youre [A] older
[E] Shorter of breath and
one day closer to [F#m] death
[D9] Every year is getting shorter
[A9] Never seem to find the time
[D9] Plans that either come to naught
Or [A9] half a page of scribbled lines
[D9] Hanging on in quiet despe [C#m7] ration
Is the english way
My [Bm7] time has gone my song is over
[Bm] Thought Id
[F/C] something more to [Em] say
