Fearing Backing track (short) version
Intro: E F#
F# A
Ticking away the moments that make up the dull day
E F#
You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way
F# A
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
E F#
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
D A
Tired of ly-ing in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
D A
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
D C#
And then one day, you find.... ten years have got behind you
B E
No one told you when to run. You missed the starting gun.
[Solo] F# A E F# D C# B E
F# A
When you run and you run-to catch up with the Sun, but it's sinking
E F#
Racing around to come up behind you again
F# A
The Sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
E F#
Shorter of breath, and one day closer to death
D A
Every year is getting shorter; never seem to find the time
D A
Plans that either come to naught, or half a page of scribbled lines
D C# B
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way. The time is gone, the song is over
B
Thought I'd something more to say-e-ay-ay
Em A Em A
Em A
Home, home again
Em A
I like to be here when I can
Em A
When I come home, cold and tired
Em A
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
C Bm
Far away across the field, the tolling of the iron bell
F G
Calls the faithful to their knees, to hear the softly
D D Bm
spoken magic spell
