   Em ~ ~  Em ~ ~   - D

 

                    Em                                    D

1. From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,

           Em              D

    I’m travelin’ on, far and wide.

             C                                   Em

    But now it seems I’m just a stranger to myself,

                        D                                            C

    and all the things I sometimes do, it isn’t me but someone else.

 

        Em                          D 

2. I close my eyes and think of home,

                 Em                          D

    another city goes by in the night.

                 C                                      Em 

    Ain’t it funny how it is, you never miss it til it’s gone away,

                    D                                           C

    and my heart is lying there and will be till my dying day ?

 

 G  - C             D     - C - A

So       understand,   

           Em                                 D                             C

don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years.

  G     C                        D    - C - A   

Face up, make your stand

       Em                   D                 C

and realize, you’re living in the golden years.

 

     Em                                                         D

3. Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,

             Em                       D

    can’t ease this pain so easily.

                       C

    When you can’t find the words to say,

                        Em

    it’s hard to make it through another day,

                  D                                                     C

    and it makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky.

 

 G  - C             D     - C - A

So       understand,   

           Em                                 D                             C

don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years.

  G     C                        D    - C - A   

Face up, make your stand

       Em                   D                  C

and realize, you’re living in the golden years.
