(Intro)
(Lead Guitar with percussion)
====
(Verse 1)
[F#m] Ticking away the moments that make up a du[A] ll day
[E] Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand w[F#m] ay
[F#m] Kicking around on a piece of ground in your [A] hometown
[E] Waiting for someone or something to show you the w[F#m] ay
(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
[Bm7] No one told you when to run ..[E] . You missed the starting gun
(Guitar Solo)

(Verse 2)
And you r[F#m] un and you run to catch up with the Sun, but it's s[A] inking;
[E] Racing around to come up behind you ag[F#m] ain.
The [F#m] Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're o[A] lder,
[E] shorter of breath, and one day closer to d[F#m] eath.
[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 desper[C#m7] ation is the English way.
The [Bm7] time is gone, the song is over. [Bm7] Thought I'd something [F/B] more to say.
[Em] [A] [Em] [A]
(Verse 3)
[Em7] Home, home ag[A] ain
[Em7] I like to be here when I [A] can
[Em7] When I come home, cold and [A] tired
[Em7] It's good to warm my bones beside the[A] fire
[Cmaj7] Far away, across the field
[Bm] Tolling on the iron bell
[Fmaj7] Calls the faithful to their knees
[G] To hear the softly [D7#9] spoken [D7b9] magic [Bm] spell
