Intro: E F#m x4 F#m A E F#m F#m A Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day E F#m Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way F#m A Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown E F#m Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Chorus: Dmaj7 Tired of lying in the sunshine A Staying home to watch the rain Dmaj7 You are young and life is long A And there is time to kill today Dmaj7 And then one day you find C#m Ten years have got behind you Bm No one told you when to run... E You missed the starting gun Instrumental: F#m A E F#m x4 Dmaj7 A Dmaj7 A Dmaj7 C#m Bm E F#m And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun, A but itΚΌs sinking; E F#m Racing around to come up behind you again. F#m A The Sun is the same in a relative way, but youΚΌre older, E F#m shorter of breath, and one day closer to death. Chorus: Dmaj7 Every year is getting shorter A Nnever seem to find the time. Dmaj7 Plans that either come to naught A Or half a page of scribbled lines. Dmaj7 Hanging on in quiet C#m desperation is the English way. Bm The time is gone, the song is over. E Thought IΚΌd something more to say. Instrumental: Em A x2 Em A Home, home again Em A I like to be here when I can Em A When I come home, cold and tired Em A ItΚΌs good to warm my bones beside the fire Cmaj7 Far away, across the field Bm Tolling on the iron bell Fmaj7 Calls the faithful to their knees G Dmaj7 Bm To hear the softly spoken magic spell
