_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ Well, if I were young again [G] I'd pay attention To that little known [D] dimension, the taste
of endless [A] time [D] It's just like water, it runs right through
[G] our fingers The flavor of [D] it lingers like a [A] rich [D] red wine
_ [A] In those days we [D] were single, we lived them one by one
[A] Now we hardly [D] see them, they [G] don't walk, [A] they run
[D] But I've got plenty left, I've set [G] my sight on
Don't wait up, [D] leave the light on, I'll [A] be [D] home soon _ _ _

_ _ [A] _ [D] _ _ _ I've never seen my life in such [G] a hurry But if I stop [D] to worry, I get [A] left behind
[D] It's just a party, but you don't get [G] invitations And there's just one [D]
destination, you better
[A] be [D] on time

[D] _ _ [A] For years we rhymed in couplets, [D] and we sang them two by two

[D] And if they hurt, there's bullets [G] left to bite on
Don't [D] wait up, [G] leave the [D] light on, I'll [A] be [D] home soon

_ _ _ _ _ _ That drummer in my head needs [G] inspiration There's a lack of [D]
syncopation, and it holds
me [A] to a line [D] It's just so hard to leave these cages [G] that
we think in By [D] stages [G] we just [D] sink in to [A] a [D] slow decline
For [A]
years we lived in Walt's [D] time, danced it three by three
[A] Now it's hard [F#m] to dance, [G] but if you stick with [A] me
_ [D]
We've got what we need to [G] spend the night on
Don't wait up, leave the [D] light on, I'll be [A] home [D] soon

_ _ _ races that we've run were not for [G] glory No moral to the [D] story, we run for peace [A] of
mind [D] But the race we're running [D] now is never [G] ending
Space and time [D] are bending, and there's [A] no [D] finish line
I [A] will live to be a hundred, [D] I was born in forty-four
[A] Thirty-three to go, but I [G] ain't keeping [A] score [D] I've been left for dead before, [G] but I still
fight on Don't wait up, leave the [D] light on, [A] I'll be home [D] soon
Cause I've been left for dead before, but [G] I still fight on
Don't wait up, [D] leave the light on, [A] I'll be [D] home soon _ _ _ _
