Gm Bb

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

F Gm

You fritter and waste the hours in and off hand way

Gm Bb

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown

F Gm

Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

1. Tired of lying in the sunshine, Staying home to watch the rain

2.You are young and life is long, There is time to kill today

And then one day you find, Ten years have got behind you

No one told you when to run, You missed the starting gun

Gm Bb F

Gm Bb

And you run you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

F Gm

Racing around to come up behind you again

Bb

The sun is the same in the relative way but you're older

F Gm

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

1. Every year is getting shorter, Never seem to find the time

2. Plans that either come to naught, Or half a page of scribbled lines

Hanging on in quiet despe ration, Is the english way

My time has gone my song is over, Thought I'd something more to say
