old man sits at his desk
one year from retirement ,
G6
and he’s up for review
not quite sure what to do
D5
each passing year
the workload grows

Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em
i’m always wishing , i’m always wishing too late
Em9
for things to come my way
D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5
it always ends up the same
Em9 D5 G13 Em
i must be missing , i must be missing the point
Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5
your signal fades away and all i’m left with is noise

G6 Em9

G6 Em9
there’s so much to dream about , there must be more to my life

Em9
poor little tin man still swinging his axe ,
G6 D5
even though his joints are clogged with rust
Em9 D5
my youth is slipping , my youth is slipping away
Em9 D5 G6/9
safe in monotony , ( so safe ) , day after day
Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em
my youth is slipping , my youth is slipping away
Em9 D5 G6/9 G13 Em A5
cold wind blows off the lake , and i know for sure that it’s too late

G6 Em9
so wait up , i’m not sleeping alone again tonight
G6 Em9
there’s so much to dream about , there must be more to my life

G6 Em9
so wait up , i’m not sleeping alone again tonight
G6 Em9
there’s so much to dream about , there must be more to my life
G6 Em9
between the light and shallow waves is where i’m going to die
G6 A5 Em9
