F#mTicking away the moments that make up a dull AdayAsus4  A  
EFritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.F#m  
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your Ahome town
EWaiting for someone or something to show you the way.F#m  
Dmaj7Tired of lying in the sunshine Amaj7staying home to watch the rain.
Dmaj7You are young and life is long and Amaj7there is time to kill today.
Dmaj7And then one day you find C#m7ten years have got behind you.
Bm7No one told you when to run, Eyou missed the starting gun.F5

And you run F#mand you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinkAing
ERacing around to come up behind you againF#m.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're oldAer,A7  A7sus4  A7  
EShorter of breath and one day closer to deathF#m.
Dmaj7Every year is getting shorter Amaj7never seem to find the time.
Dmaj7Plans that either come to naught or Amaj7half a page of scribbled lines
Dmaj7Hanging on in quiet desparaC#mtion is the English way
The Bmtime is gone, the song is over,
Bm7Thought I'd something F/Bmore to say.

Words and Music by Roger Waters
Bm7Money, get away.
Get a good job with more pay and you're okay.
Money, it's a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
F#m7New car, caviar, four star daydream,
EmThink I'll buy me a football Bm7team.
Bm7Money, get back.
I'm all right Jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit.
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit.
I'm in the F#m7high-fidelity first class travelling Emset
And I think I need a Lear Bm7jet.
Bm7Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
F#m7But if you ask for a raise it's no surEmprise that they're
giving none aBmway.
