[Verse 1]
Dm F
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
C Dm
You fritter and waste the days in an offhand way
F
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
C Dm
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
[Chorus]
Bb F
Lying supine in the sunshine, let the grass grow in your brain
Bb F
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
Bb Am
And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you
Gm C C
No, no one told you when to run ... You missed the starting gun
[Verse 2]
Dm F
And you run, and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
C Dm
Racing around to come up behind you again
F
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older
C Dm
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
[Chorus]
Bb F
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Bb F
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Bb Am
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
Gm Gm7
The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
