Verse 1:

Em                                       D
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas, 
Em                          D
I'm travelling on, far and wide,
            Cmaj7              Em 
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself, 
                D                                         Cmaj7
And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else


Verse 2:

Em                             D
I close my eyes, and think of home, 
Em                             D
Another city goes by, in the night, 
         Cmaj7                          Em  
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away, 
        D                               Cmaj7
And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day


Chorus 1:

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


Verse 3: 

Em                                   D
Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind, 
      Em                 D
Can't ease this pain, so easily, 
         Cmaj7                                     Em
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day, 
         D                              Cmaj7
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.


Chorus 2:

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