Time

[Intro]

(Lead Guitar with percussion)

[Verse 1]

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]

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 today

Dmaj7 C#m7

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

Bm7 E

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

[Guitar Solo]

F#m A E F#m x4

Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 C#m7 Bm7 E

[Verse 2]

F#m A

And you run and you run to catch up with the Sun, but it's sinking;

E F#m

Racing around to come up behind you again.

F#m A

The Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older,

E F#m

shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

Dmaj7 Amaj7

Every year is getting shorter, never 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.

Bm7 Bm7 F/B

The time is gone, the song is over. Thought I'd something more to say.

Em A Em A

[Verse 3]

Em7 A

Home, home again

Em7 A

I like to be here when I can

Em7 A

When I come home, cold and tired

Em7 A

It's good to warm my bones beside the fire

C

Far away, across the field

Bm

Tolling on the iron bell

Fmaj7

Calls the faithful to their knees

G D7 Bm

To hear the softly spoken magic spell
