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...
