Time (pot-pourri) chords by Pink Floyd

Key: 'F#m'

F#m     A
Ticking away the moments

That make up a dull day
    E         F#m
You fritter and waste the hours

 In an off hand way
 F#m      A
Kicking around on a piece of ground

In your home town
 E         F#m
Waiting for someone or something

To show you the way

 D7M
Tired of lying in the sunshine
 A7M
Staying home to watch the rain
 D7M
You are young and life is long
A7M
And there is time to kill today
D7M
And then one day you find
 C#m7
Ten years have got behind you
 Bm7
No one told you when to run
Riff 4          E
You missed the starting gun

Solo: F#m A E F#m
    F#m A E F#m

F#m  A        Riff 5
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun

But it's sinking
 E        F#m    Riff 2
And racing around to come up behind you again
  F#m       A     Riff 6
The sun is the same in the relative way

But you're older
 E     F#m
And shorter of breath

And one day closer to death

D7M
Every year is getting shorter
 A7M
Never seem to find the time
 D7M
Plans that either come to naught
A7M
Or half a page of scribbed lines
 D7M
Hanging on a quiet desperation
C#m7
Is the english way
 Bm7
The time is gone, the song is over
 B7(9+)          B7(9-)
Thought i'd something more to say

(Em9 A7)

Em9       A7  A7(4) A7
  Home, Home again
Em9               A7
  I'd like to be here when I can
Em9              A7
  When I come home cold and tired
Em9                    A7
  It's good to warm my bones beside the fire
 C7M/G
Far away, across the field
 Bm7
The tolling of the iron bell
 F7M/C
Call the faithful to their knees
 G6/D        D7(9+) D7(9-)
To hear the softly spoken magic spells

 Em9          A A4 A
Breathe, breathe in the air
 Em9        A A4 A
Don't be afraid to care
 Em9         A A4 A
Leave but don't leave me

 Em9            A A4 A
Look around and choose your own ground
   C7M
For long you live and high you fly
   Bm7
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
  F7M
And all you touch and all you see
  G7M         D7(9+) D7(9-)
Is all your life will ever be

 Em9       A A4 A
Run, run rabbit run
 Em9            A A4 A
Dig that hole, forget the sun
Em9              A A4 A
And when at last the work is done
 Em9               A A4 A
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one
   C7M
For long you live and high you fly
  Bm7
But only if you ride the tide
   F7M
And balanced on the biggest wave
   G7M      D7(9+)  D7(9-) Em9
You race toward an early grave

(Em9 A7 A4 A7)
(F7M G7M F#7M)

 Bm
Hello
         A
Is there anybody in there ?
           G  F#m Em
Just nod if you can hear me
   Bm
Is there anyone at home?

Come on now
       A
I hear your feeling down
G      F#m Em
I can ease your pain
   Bm
And get you on your feet again

Relax
           A
I'll need some information first
 G     F#m   Em
Just the basic facts
   Bm
Can you show me where it hurts?
 D             A
There is no pain you are receding
D               A  G/B
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
 C                G
You are only coming through in waves
 C                       G
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
   D            A
When I was a child I had a fever
  D              A  G/B
My hands felt just like two ballons
 C                G
Now I've got that feeling once again
                 C
I can't explain, you would not understand
         G
This is not how I am
A G/B C    G       D
I   have become comfortably numb

Solo: D A D A
    C G C G

A G/B C    G       D
I   have become comfortably numb
Bm
O.k
        A
Just a little pinprick
          G  F#m Em
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
 Bm
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
          A
I do believe it's working, good
         G    F#m Em
That'll keep you going through the show
   Bm
Come on it's time to go
 D              A
There is no pain, you are receding
D               A  G/B
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
C                 G
You are only coming through in waves
   C                    G
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
   D              A
When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse
D             A G/B
Out of the corner of my eye
C               G
I turned to look but it was gone
             C
I cannot put my finger on it now

The child is grown
   G
The dream is gone
   A G/B C   G   D
And I    have become comfortably numb

(A G/B C G D)

C             D/F#
So, so you think you can tell
 Am/E G

Heaven from hell, Blue skies from pain
           D/F#
Can you tell a green field
         C
From a cold steel rail, A smile from a veil?

Am7            G
Do you think you can tell?
  C   D/F#   Am/E
Did they get you to trade

Your heroes for ghosts, Hot ashes for trees
        G    D/F# C
Hot air for a cool breeze

Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange
         Am7   G
A walk on part in the war

For a lead role in a cage?

C                D/F#
How I wish, how I wish you were here
      Am/E   G  D/F#
We're just two lost souls

Swimming in a fish bowl

Year after year
  C   Am7
Running over the same old ground

What have we found?

The same old fears
        G
Wish you were here
