VERSE 1:
E minorEm                    D MajorD
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
E minorEm             D MajorD
I'm travelling on, far and wide,
      C9C9       E minorEm
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,
        D MajorD                     C9C9
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else.

E minorEm               D MajorD
I close my eyes, and think of home,
E minorEm               D MajorD
Another city goes by, in the night,
     C9C9             E minorEm
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away,
    D MajorD                C9C9
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day.

CHORUS:
G+G  C majorC    D MajorD
So   understand
   G+G            D MajorD             C9C9
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
G+G  C majorC        D MajorD
Face up... make your stand,
  G+G        D MajorD       C9C9
And realize you're living in the golden years.

VERSE 2:
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.

CHORUS:
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up... make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.
