Lyrics and Chords

The song picked up by:   Alan Robinson
Intro:
F#m | F#m | A | Asus4 A Asus2 A | E | E | F#m | F#m

Verse 1:
 F#m
Ticking away the moments
                A       Asus4 A Asus2 A
That make up a dull day
  E                                         F#m
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way

 F#m
Kicking around on a piece
                   A        Asus4 A Asus2 A
Of ground in your home town
 E                                                F#m
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Chorus:
 Dmaj7
Tired of lying in the sunshine
  Amaj7
Staying home to watch the rain
 Dmaj7
You are young and life is long and
  Amaj7
There is time to kill today

Dmaj7
  And then one day you find
C#m7
  Ten years have got behind you
 Bm
No one told you when to run,
E
  You missed the starting gun

[Instrumental] = [Intro] (x2)

Verse 2:
         F#m
And you run and you run to catch up with
                  A      Asus4 A Asus2 A
The sun but it's sinking
 E                                    F#m
Racing around to come up behind you again

     F#m
The sun is the same in a relative
                A     Asus4 A Asus2 A
Way, but you're older
  E                                      F#m
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Chorus:
Dmaj7
Every year is getting shorter,
 Amaj7
Never seem to find the time
  Dmaj7
Plans that either come to naught or
 Amaj7
Half a page of scribbled lines

 Dmaj7
Hanging on in quiet
      C#m7
Desperation is the English way
     Bm                D
The time is gone, the song is over,
  Dm                   F          Em ->
Thought I'd something more to say
