Em
[Verse]
Em Gmaj7
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
D Em Em Esus2 Em
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Em Gmaj7
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
D Em
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
Cmaj7 Bm7
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
Am D
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
[Hook]
Em Gmaj7 D Em
[Verse]
Em Gmaj7
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
D Em Em Esus2 Em
Racing around to come up behind you again
Em Gmaj7
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
D Em
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Cmaj7 Bm7
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
Am
The time is gone, the song is over
D
Thought I'd something more to say
[Hook]
D5 G
[Verse]
D5 G
Home, home again
Dm G
I like to be here when I can
Dm G
And when I come home cold and tired
Dm G
Its good to warm my bones beside the fire
Bb
Far away across the field
Am
The tolling of the iron bell
Bb
Calls the faithful to their knees
Am7 Cdim A#dim Am
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
