*Simple chords for acoustic guitar, missing here 'til now..

[Intro]
Em     D

[Verse 1]
         Em                        D         
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas
    Em             D           
I'm travellin' on, far and wide
    C                 D      Em                
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
            D                         C                        
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
         C                    D     Em                         
Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it 'til it's gone away
       D                                C                
And my heart is lying there and will be 'til my dying day

[Chorus]
G   C A      D    CA
So      understand
      Em                     D                   C           
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
G        C A           D    CA
Face up      make your stand
    Em             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
         C                                D       Em                         
When you can't find the words to say it's hard to make it through another day
       D                               C                  
And it makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky

[Chorus]
G   C A      D    CA
So      understand
      Em                     D                   C           
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
G        C A           D    CA
Face up      make your stand
    Em             D             C           
And realize you're living in the golden years

[Chorus]
G   C A      D    CA
So      understand
      Em                     D                   C           
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
G        C A           D    CA
Face up      make your stand
    Em             D             C           
And realize you're living in the golden years
