Chords with lyrics
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
E MajorE F# minorF#m
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
D7D7+
Tired of lying in the sunshine
A7A7+
Staying home to watch the rain
D7D7+
You are young and life is long
A7A7+
And there is time to kill today
D7D7+
And then one day you find
C#m7C#m7
Ten years have got behind you
Bm7Bm7
No one told you when to run
E MajorE
You missed the starting gun

F# minorF#m A augmentedA
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
E MajorE F# minorF#m
And racing around to come up behind you again
F# minorF#m A augmentedA
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
E MajorE F# minorF#m
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
D7D7+
Every year is getting shorter
A7A7+
Never seem to find the time
D7D7+
Plans that either come to naught
A7A7+
Or half a page of scribbed lines
D7D7+
Hanging on a quiet desperation
C#m7C#m7
Is the english way
Bm7Bm7
The time is gone, the song is over
B7(9+) B7(9-)
