Ticking away the moments that make a dull day
E F#mYou fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
F#m AKicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
D7 ATired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
D7 AYou 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
Bm ENo one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
F#m A E F#m A E
F#mA
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
E F#mAnd racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way but you're older
E F#mAnd shorter of breath and one day closer to death
D7 AEvery year is getting shorter never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
D7 C#mHanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
E Bm EThe 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......
