TIME
EmG
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
DEm
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
EmG
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
DEm
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Cmaj7Gmaj7
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
Cmaj7Gmaj7
You are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
Cmaj7Bm7
And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you
Am7D
No one told you when to run ... You missed the starting gun

EmG
And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun, but it's sinking;
DEm
Racing around to come up behind you again.
EmG
The Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older,
DEm
shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.
Cmaj7Gmaj7
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.
Cmaj7Gmaj7
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines.
Cmaj7Bm7
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.
AmAm7Eb/A
The time is gone, the song is over. Thought I'd something more to say.

Dm7G7
Home, home again
Dm7G7
I like to be here when I can
Dm7G7
When I come home, cold and tired
Dm7G7
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
Bbmaj7
Far away, across the field
Am7
Tolling on the iron bell
Ebmaj7
Calls the faithful to their knees
FC7#9C7b9Am
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
