Ticking away the moments
A
that make up a dull day
E
Fritter and waste the
F#m
hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece
A
of ground in your hometown
E
Waiting for someone or
F#m
something to show you the way
D7+
Tired of lying
A7+
in the sunshine, staying
home to watch the rain
D7+
You are young and
life is long, and
A7+
there is time to kill today
D7+
And then one day you find
C#m
ten years have got behind
Bm
you no one told you when to run,
E
you missed the starting gun
Solo ( F#m A E )
( F#m D7+ A7+ D7+ A7+ )
( D7+ C#m Bm E )
F#m
And you run, and you run to
A
catch up with the sun but it's sinking
E
Racing around to come up
F#m
behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way
A
but you're older
E
Shorter of breath and one day
F#m
closer to death
D7+
Every year is getting shorter,
A7+
never seem to find the time
D7+
Plans that either come to naught
A7+
or half a page of scribbled lines
D7+
Hanging on in quiet
C#m
desperation is the English way
Bm
The time is gone,the song is over,
F
thought I'd something more to say
( Em9 A7 ) 2x
Em9 A7
Home, home again
Em9 A7
I like to be here when I can
Em9 A7
And when I come home old and tired
Em9 A7
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
C7+
Far away across the field
Bm7
The tolling of the iron bell
F7+
Calls the faithful to their knees
G
To hear the softly
D7/9# D7/9b Bm7
spoken magic spells
