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
D7M
Tired of lying in the sunshine
A7M
Staying home to watch the rain
D7M
You are young and life is long
A7M
And there is time to kill today
D7M
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
D7M
Every year is getting shorter
A7M
Never seem to find the time
D7M
Plans that either come to naught
A7M
Or half a page of scribbed lines
D7M
Hanging on a quiet desperation
C#m7
Is the english way
Bm7
The time is gone, the song is over
B7(9+) B7(9-)
