Time – Pink Floyd

Time Lyrics and Chords

Performed by Pink Floyd

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
.. I like to be here when I can
Em                                           A7
… When I come home cold & tired
……Em
It’s good to warm my bones
………………….A7
Beside the fire
C
Far away across the field
Bm
The tolling of the iron bell
F
Calls the faithful to their knees
……G
To hear the softly
Dm       Cm     Bm
Spoken magic spells

End
