F#m                                                                              A

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull  day;

E                                                                                F#m

fritter and waste the hours  in an offhand way;

F#m                                                                                  A

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown;

E                                                                                                     F#m

waiting  for someone or something to show you the way.

 Dmaj7                                                  Amaj7

Tired of lying in the sunshine,  staying home to watch the rain,

 Dmaj7                                                    Amaj7                      

you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today.

 Dmaj7                                            C#m7

And then one day, you find, ten years have got behind you.

Bm7                                                  E                                               F#m

No one told you when to run....You missed the starting gun.

Chorus Instrumental

So you run and you run to catch up with the Sun, but it's sinking;

racing around to come up behind you again.

The Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older,

shorter of breath, and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time.

Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines.

Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way.

The time is gone. The song is over. Thought I'd something more to say.

Ahhh end or Fade in E and A or head off to Breathe Reprise
