Capo on 2nd fret
[Verse1]
[Em]Ticking away the moments that make up a d[G]dull day
[D]Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand w[Em]way
[Em]Kicking around on a piece of ground in your[G]your hometown
[D]Waiting for someone or something to show you the w[Em]way
[Chorus]
[Cmaj7]Tired of lying in the sunshine, [Gmaj7]staying home to watch the rain
[Cmaj7]You are young and life is long, and [Gmaj7]there is time to kill today
[Cmaj7] And then one day you find,[Bm7]find, ten years have got behind you
[Am7]No one told you when to run ..[D]... You missed the starting gun
[Guitarsolo]
[Em] [G] [D] [Em] [x4]
[Cmaj7] [Gmaj7] [Cmaj7] [Gmaj7] [Cmaj7] [Bm7] [Am7] [D]
[Verse2]
And you r[Em]run and you run to catch up with the Sun, but it's [G]sinking;
[D]Racing around to come up behind you ag[Em]again.
The [Em]Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're [G]older,
[D]shorter of breath, and one day closer to d[Em]death.
[Cmaj7]Every year is getting shorter, [Gmaj7]never seem to find the time.
[Cmaj7]Plans that either come to naught, or [Gmaj7]half a page of scribbled lines.
[Cmaj7]Hanging on in quiet desper[Bm7]desperation is the English way.
The [Am7]time is gone, the song is over. [Am7]Thought I'd something [D#/A]more to say.
