Intro:
[Primeira Parte]
Gbm
Ticking away
A
The moments that make up a dull day
E
Fritter and waste the hours
Gbm
In an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground
A
In your hometown
E
Waiting for someone or something
Gbm
To show you the way
[Segunda Parte]
D
Tired of lying in the sunshine
A
Staying home to watch the rain
D
And you are young and life is long
A D
And there is time to kill today
Dbm
And then one day you find
Ten years have got behind you
Bm E
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun
[Solo]

D Dbm Bm E
[Terceira Parte]
Gbm
And you run and you run
To catch up with the Sun
A
But it's sinking
E
Racing around to come up
Gbm
Behind you again
The Sun is the same
In a relative way
A
But you're older
E
Shorter of breath
Gbm
And one day closer to death
[Quarta Parte]
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 Dbm
Hanging on in quiet desperation
Is the English way
Bm
The time is gone
The song is over
B7 B7
Thought I'd something more to say
[Interlúdio]
Em A Em A
[Quinta Parte]
Em A Em
Home, home again
A Em
I like to be here when I can
A
And when I come home, cold and tired
Em A
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
[Sexta Parte]
C7M
Far away, across the field
Bm7
The tolling of the iron bell
F7M
Calls the faithful to their knees
G D7 D7 Bm
To hear the softly spoken magic spells
