G D C Well, is life just a walk up a steep hill? G D C You get to the top and then it's all downhill Em Bm C You're spinning 'round like the arms of a windmill Am D7 And you never slow down And is love just a foolish emotion? A Hollywood dream, just a childish notion Plenty of fish but I am miles from the ocean For I'm scared that I'll drown Chorus: Am D7 I always thought that I would see it coming G C Like a train rolling down the line Am D7 I never dreamed that I would end up running G G7 Away from myself and out of time Am D7 Em G Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away Am D7 G Year on year, day by day And how do you know when it's really crunch time? You could choke on a fortune cookie one unfortunate lunchtime And I fear death is just the final punch line Of this comedy show So make them laugh before you go Chorus: I always thought that I would feel it coming Like a storm in a summer sky I thought I'd hear the marching band drumming Thought I'd see the fireworks reflect in her eyes, oh Hey, hey, hey I feel it slipping away Year on year Day by day Am D7 Well, life can drag you under B7 Em And it can feel so frightening Am D7 Love can steal your thunder B7 Em Or struck you down with lightning Am D7 And at the end of it you'll say Chorus: I always thought that I would see it land And the hairs on the back of my neck would stand But there's no fireworks or marching band Just a letter from the queen if you live longer than planned oh Hey, hey, hey I feel it slipping away Year on year Day by day | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm C D D7 Em G G7 Bm B7 Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
