E  F#m  E  F#m  E  F#m  E  F#m  A  E  F#m

F#m                                      A
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
  E                                       F#m
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand 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:
D
Tired of lying in the sunshine,
A
staying home to watch the rain
D
You are young and life is long,
     A
And there is time to kill today
D                         C#m
And then one day you find,
Ten years have got behind you
Bm                          E
No one told you when to run.
You missed the starting gun

F#m  A    E    F#m  F#m  A    E    F#m
F#m  A    E    F#m  F#m  A    E    F#m
D    A    D    A    D    C#m  Bm   E

        F#m
And you run, and you run to catch up
                        A
With the sun, but it's sinking
 E                                    F#m
Racing around to come up behind you again
F#m
The sun is the same in a relative way,
           A
But you're older
  E                                       F#m
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death

Chorus:
D
Every year is getting shorter,
 A
Never seem to find the time.
  D
Plans that either come to naught,
    A
Or half a page of scribbled lines.
 D                        C#m
Hanging on in quiet desperation
is the English way.
     Bm
The time is gone, the song is over.
                       F
Thought I'd something more to say.

Em   A    Em   A

Em           A
Home, home again
Em                        A
I like to be here when I can
Em                          A
When I come home, cold and tired
Em                                     A
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
 C
Far away, across the field
 Bm
Tolling on the iron bell
 F
Calls the faithful to their knees
   G                 D     C     Bm
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
