Fa#m Ticking away the moments that make up a La dull day Mi Fritter and waste the hours in an Fa#m offhand way Fa#m Kicking around on a piece of ground La in your hometown Mi Waiting for someone or something to Fa#m show you the way Remaj7 Tired of lying in the sunshine, Lamaj7 staying home to watch the rain Remaj7 You are young and life is long, Lamaj7 and there is time to kill today Remaj7 And then one day you find, Do#m7 ten years have got behind you Sim7 No one told you when to run ... Mi You missed the starting gun Fa#m La Mi Fa#m x4 Remaj7 Lamaj7 Remaj7 Lamaj7 Remaj7 Do#m7 Sim7 Mi Fa#m And you run and you run to catch up La with the Sun, but it's sinking; Mi Fa#m Racing around to come up behind you again. Fa#m The Sun is the same in a relative way, La but you're older, Mi shorter of breath, Fa#m and one day closer to death. Remaj7 Every year is getting shorter, Lamaj7 never seem to find the time. Remaj7 Plans that either come to naught, Lamaj7 or half a page of scribbled lines. Remaj7 Do#m7 Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. Sim7 The time is gone, the song is over. Sim7 Fa/Si Thought I'd something more to say. Mim La Mim La Mim7 La Home, home again Mim7 La I like to be here when I can Mim7 La When I come home, cold and tired Mim7 La It's good to warm my bones beside the fire Domaj7 Far away, across the field Sim Tolling on the iron bell Famaj7 Calls the faithful to their knees Sol Rem7 Sim To hear the softly spoken magic spell
