Time Lyrics and Chords
Verse 1
F#m
Ticking away the moments
………………………..A
That make up a dull day
E
Fritter and waste
…………………………………..F#m
The hours in an off hand way
F#m
Kicking around on a piece of ground
………….A
In your hometown
E
Waiting for someone or something
………………………..F#m
To show you the way
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
..And then one day you find
C#m
..Ten years have got behind you
Bm
No one told you when to run,
E
..You missed the starting gun
Music:
Verse 2
…………….F#m
And you run, and you run
To catch up with the sun
……………A
But it’s sinking
E
Racing around to come up
…………………F#m
Behind you again
……F#m
The sun is the same in a relative way
………………..A
But you’re older
E
Shorter of breath
………………………………….F#m
And one day closer to death
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,
Dm F
Thought I’d something more to say
Em A7 Em A7
Em A7
…Home, home again
Em A7

……Em
It’s good to warm my bones
………………A7
Beside the fire

Far away across the field

The tolling of the iron bell

Calls the faithful to their knees

To hear the softly

Spoken magic spells
