Selection chords: Sarah Harris

Verse:
Fm
Ticking away the moments that make up a
  G#
dull day
D#
Fritter and waste the hours in an
         Fm
offhand way
Fm
Kicking around on a piece of ground in
     G#
your hometown
D#
Waiting for someone or something to show
          Fm
 you the way

Chorus:
C#maj7                           G#maj7
Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying
home to watch the rain
C#maj7
You are young and life is long, and
G#maj7
there is time to kill today
C#maj7                          Cm7
     And then one day you find,   ten
years have got behind you
A#m7                           D#
No one told you when to run ... You
missed the starting gun

Fm G# D# Fm x4
C#maj7 G#maj7 C#maj7 G#maj7 C#maj7 Cm7
A#m7 D#

Verse:
         Fm
And you run and you run to catch up with
                    G#
 the Sun, but itʼs sinking;
D#
Racing around to come up behind you
  Fm
again.
    Fm
The Sun is the same in a relative way,
            G#
but youʼre older,
D#
shorter of breath, and one day closer to
  Fm
 death.

C#maj7                          G#maj7
Every year is getting shorter, never
seem to find the time.
C#maj7
Plans that either come to naught, or
G#maj7
half a page of scribbled lines.
C#maj7                     Cm7
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the
English way.
    A#m7
The time is gone, the song is over.
A#m7                   D#
Thought Iʼd something more to say.

D#m7 G# D#m7 G#

Verse:
D#m7           G#
 Home, home again
D#m7                      G#
I like to be here when I can
D#m7                         G#
 When I come home, cold and tired
D#m7                                  G#
Itʼs good to warm my bones beside the
fire
Bmaj7
Far away, across the field
A#m7
Tolling on the iron bell
E    
Calls the faithful to their knees
F#                  C#7         A#m7
To hear the softly spoken magic spell
