Introduction:
Em D
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
Em D
I'm travelling on, far and wide,
C9 Em
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself,
D C9
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else.
Em D
I close my eyes, and think of home,
Em D
Another city goes by, in the night,
C9 Em
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away,
D C9
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day.
G C D
So understand
Em D C9
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
G C D
Face up... make your stand,
Em D C9
And realize you're living in the golden years.
Em D
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
Em D
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
C9 Em
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
D C9
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.
G C D
So understand
Em D C9
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
G C D
Face up... make your stand,
Em D C9
And realize you're living in the golden years.
