Intro
B E B F# B/F# F# B E B F# B
[Verse]
B E
If I were young again I'd pay attention,
B F#
To that little known dimension, the taste of endless time.
B E
Just like water, it runs right through my fingers,
B F# B
But the flavor of it lingers like a rich red wine.
F# B
In those days we were single, and we lived them one by one.
F# E F#
Now we hardly see 'em, they don't walk, they run.
[Chorus]
B E
But I got plenty left I've set my sight on,
B F# B
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon.
[Turnaround]
B E B F# B
[Verse]
B E
I never seen my life in such a hurry,
B F#
But if I start to worry, I get left behind.
B E
It's like a party, but you don't get invitations,
B F# B
And there's just one destination, you better be on time.
F# B
For years we rhymed in couplets, and we sang 'em two by two.
F# E F#
Now we hardly rhyme at all but here's a few:
[Chorus]
B E
And if they hurt there's bullets left to bite on,
B F# B
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon.
[Turnaround]
B E B F# B
[Verse]
B E
That drummer in my head needs inspiration,
B F#
There's a lack of syncopation, that holds me to a line.
B E
It's just so hard to leave these cages that we think in,
B F# B
By stages we just sink in, to a slow decline.
F# B
For years we lived and waltzed the time, and we danced 'em three by three.
F# E F#
Now it's hard to dance but if you stick with me...
[Chorus]
B E
We've got what we need to spend the night on,
B F# B
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon
[Solo]
B E B F# B/F# F# B E B F# B
[Verse]
B E
These races that we've run were not for glory,
B F#
No moral to the story, we run for peace of mind.
B E
But the race we're running now is never ending,
B F# B
Since space and time are bending, there's no finish line.
F# B
But I'll live to be a hundred, I was born in forty-four,
F# E F#
Thirty-nine to go but I ain't keepin score.
[Chorus]
B E
I've been left for dead before but I still fight on,
B F# B
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon.
[Chorus]
B E
I've been left for dead before but I still fight on,
B F# B
Don't wait up leave the light on, I'll be home soon. (ritardando)
