[Chorus] (2:48)
Dmaj7                          Amaj7
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
Dmaj7                              Amaj7
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
Dmaj7                      C#m
  And then one day you find   that ten years have got behind you
 
Bm                                 E
No one told you when to run,       you missed the starting gun

F#m                                                    A
And you run and run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking

[Chorus] (5:13)
Dmaj7                          Amaj7
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Dmaj7                                 Amaj7
Plans that either come to naught or a half page of scribbled lines
Dmaj7                      C#m
Hanging on in a quiet desperation is the English way
    Bm                             Dmaj7                 D7#9
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
 
 
[Breathe Reprise] (5:44)
   Em7                   A7                  Em7                         A7                   A

A|-2---------------0-----0----------------------------2------------------0---x---------0------0--|
E|-0-----------------------------------------0---------0----0------------------------------------|
 
Em7           A7
  Home, home again
Em7                          A7
  I'd like to be here when I can
Em7                         A7
  When I come home cold and tired
Em7                                     A7
  It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
 
 
[Chorus] (6:30)
Cmaj7
Far away, across the field,
Bm7
The tolling of the iron bell
Fmaj7
Call the faithful to their knees,
G                  D7#9   D7b9  Bm
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

Excellent tab but I think the last two chords before the Breathe Reprise start should be a DMaj7 and a D7#9. The last part of the breathe reprise is also incorrect. C should be CMaj7 Bm should be Bm7 Am should be FMaj7 The G chord is correct. After that a D7#9 is played with a D7b9 immediately afterwards which goes into a Bm. That should be about righ
