Time chords by The Lords

F#m                                         A
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
       E                                         F#m
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
 F#m                                         A
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
 E                                                F#m
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

 D7+
Tired of lying in the sunshine
 A7+
Staying home to watch the rain
 D7+
You are young and life is long
A7+
And there is time to kill today
D7+
And then one day you find
 C#m7
Ten years have got behind you
 Bm7
No one told you when to run
E

You missed the starting gun

F#m                                               A
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
 E                                         F#m
And racing around to come up behind you again
   F#m                                            A
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
 E                                             F#m
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death

D7+
Every year is getting shorter
 A7+
Never seem to find the time
  D7+
Plans that either come to naught
A7+
Or half a page of scribbed lines
 D7+
Hanging on a quiet desperation
C#m7
Is the english way
  Bm7
The time is gone, the song is over
  B7(9+)                   B7(9-)
