[Verse 1]

F#m                                      A 

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

    E                                         F#m 

You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand 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 

And, 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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

        F#m                                               A 

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking

    E                                  F#m 

And racing around to come up behind you again

    F#m                                            A 

The sun is the same in the relative way, but youre older

E                                      F#m 

Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

[Chorus]

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#m 

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way

    Bm                             Bm7                 F 

The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

[Instrumental]

[Verse3]

Em          A Asus4 A 

  Home, home again

Em                        A7 Asus4 A7 

  I like to be here when I can

Em(add9)                      A Asus4 A7 

And when I come home cold and tired

    Em                              A 

Its good to warm my bones beside the fire

[Chorus]

Cmaj7 

Far away across the field

    Bm7 

The tolling of the iron bell

Fmaj7 

Calls the faithful to their knees

   G7             Dm7  Cm7  Bm

To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

Fmaj7 

And balanced on the biggest wave

You race toward an early grave.

A distant ship.  Smoke on the horizon.

C                              G 

You are only coming through in waves

      C                                      G

Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

D                           A 

When I was a child, I had a fever

D                            A

Now I've got that feeling once again

When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye.

I turned to look but it was gone.  I cannot put my finger

on it now.  The child is grown, the dream is gone.
