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,
Cmaj7Cmaj7 E minorEm
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,
D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else
Verse 2:
E minorEm D MajorD
I close my eyes, and think of home,
E minorEm D MajorD
Another city goes by, in the night,
Cmaj7Cmaj7 E minorEm
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away,
D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day

And realize you're living in the golden years...
Verse 3:
E minorEm D MajorD
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
E minorEm D MajorD
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
Cmaj7Cmaj7 E minorEm
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
D MajorD Cmaj7Cmaj7
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.
Chorus 2:
G+G C majorC D MajorD
So understand
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
G+G C majorC D MajorD

And realize you're living in the golden years...
