Em
From the coast of gold
G          D
Across the seven seas
     Em           G
I'm travelling on
D/F#
Far and wide
     C
But now it seems
D           Em
I'm just a stranger to myself
G            D
And all the things I sometimes do
         C                C9   D
It isn't me but someone else

  Em
I close my eyes
G     D
And think of home
         Em
Another city goes by
G       D/F#
In the night
         C
Ain't it funny how it is
D        Em
You never miss it til it's gone away
G       D                                C              C9  D
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day

G  C A     D    C A
So   understand
      Em                           D                 C9
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
G       C  A          D   C A
Face up...make your stand
     Em                   D            C9
And realize you're living in the golden years

Em
Too much time on my hands
G        D
I got you on my mind
       Em            G     D/F#
Can't ease this pain,  so easily
         C
When you can't find the words to say
D            Em
It's hard to make it through another day
G       D
And it makes me wanna cry
             C               C9
And throw my hands up to the sky

[Estribillo]
G  C A     D    C A
So   understand
      Em                           D                 C9
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
G       C  A          D   C A
Face up...make your stand
     Em                   D            C9
And realize you're living in the golden years
