[F#m] [A] [E]
[F#m]Ticking away the moments that make up [A]a dull day
You [E]fritter and waste the hours in and off hand [F#m]way
[F#m]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your [A]hometown
[E]Waiting for someone or something to show you the [F#m]way
[D9]Tired of lying in the sunshine
[A9]Staying home to watch the rain
[D9]You are young and life is long
[A9]There is time to [A]kill to day
[D9]And then one day you find
[C#m7]Ten years have got behind you
[Bm7]No one told you when to run
01-Sep-2007[E]You missed the [F#m]starting [A]gun [E]
And you [F#m]run you run to catch up with the sun but it's [A]sinking
Ra[E]cing around to come up behind you aga[F#m]in
The [F#m]sun is the same in the relative way but you're [A]older
[E]Shorter of breath and one day closer to [F#m]death
[D9]Every year is getting shorter
[A9]Never seem to find the time
[D9]Plans that either come to naught
Or [A9]half a page of scribbled lines
[D9]Hanging on in quiet despe[C#m7]ration
Is the english way
My [Bm7]time has gone my song is over
[Bm]Thought I'd [F/C]something more to [Em]say
