(4 bars for each chord)

E		F#m		E		F#m

E		F#m		E		F#m

F#m		A		E		F#m

Verse 1:

F#m	A
Ticking away the moments that make up a du	ll day

E	F#m
fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand	way

F#m	A
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your	hometown

E	F#m
waiting for someone or something to show you the	way

Chorus 1:

Dmaj7	Amaj7
Tired of lying in the sunshine,	staying home to watch the rain

Dmaj7	Amaj7
You are young and life is long, and	there is time to kill to-day, and

Dmaj7	C#m7
then one day, you find ten	years have got be-hind you.

Bm		E
No one told you when to run

E

You missed the starting gun

Verse 2:

F#m	A
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sink	ing

E	F#m
racing around to come up behind you a	gain.

	F#m	A
The	sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re old	er,

E	F#m
shorter of breath, and one day clos-er to de	ath

Chorus 2:

Dmaj7	Amaj7
Every year is geting shorter, ne	ver seem to find the time.

Dmaj7	Amaj7
Plans that either come to naught, or	half a page of scribbled lines.

Dmaj7	C#m7
Hanging on in quiet desperation	is the English way.

Bm

The time is gone, the song is over,

Bm7	F
hought I’d something	more to say

[Coda]

Em9	A
Home, home aga	in

Em9	A
I like to be here when I	can

Em9	A
When I come home, cold and	tired

Em9	A
It’s good to warm my bones beside the	fire

Cmaj7

Far away, across the field

Bm

Tolling of the iron bell

Fmaj7

Calls the faithful to their knees

G	D7#9	D7b9	Bm
To hear the softly	spoken	magic	spell
