[Verse 1]
D                                        F
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
C                                             D
You fritter and waste the days in an offhand way
                                             F
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
C                                                D
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way


[Chorus]
Bb                            F
Lying supine in the sunshine,   let the grass grow in your brain
Bb                                 F
You are young and life is long and   there is time to kill today
Bb                            A
   And then one day you find,   ten years have got behind you
G                                  C                            C
No, no one told you when to run ...  You missed the starting gun

D
