Ticking away the moments that make a dull day
MI FA#mYou fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
FA#m LAKicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
RE7 LATired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
RE7 LAYou are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
SIm MINo one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
FA#m LA MI FA#m LA MI
FA#mLA
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
MI FA#mAnd racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way but you're older
MI FA#mAnd shorter of breath and one day closer to death
RE7 LAEvery year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
RE7 DO#mHanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
MI SIm MIThe time is gone the song is over thought I'd something more to say
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way Tired of liyng in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain......
