EmTicking away the moments that make up a dGull day
You Dfritter and waste the hours in an off hand Emway
EmKicking around on a piece of ground in your Ghometown
DWaiting for someone or something to show you the Emway
Cmaj7Tired of lying in the sunshine Gmaj7staying home to watch the rain
And, Cmaj7you are young and life is long and Gmaj7there is time to kill today
Cmaj7And then one day you find Bmten years have got behind you
AmNo one told you when to run, Dyou missed the starting gun

And you Emrun and you run to catch up with the sun, but its Gsinking
And Dracing around to come up behind you Emagain
The Emsun is the same in the relative way, but youre Golder
DShorter of breath and one day closer to Emdeath
Cmaj7Every year is getting shorter, Gmaj7never seem to find the time
Cmaj7Plans that either come to naught or Gmaj7half a page of scribbled lines
Cmaj7Hanging on in quiet desperBmation is the english way
The Amtime is gone, the song is over, Am7thought Id something Ebmore to say

The story behind the song

"Time" explores the profound realization that life is not merely a preparation for the future, but a present experience to be actively lived. The lyrics, penned by Roger Waters, came from his personal understanding that he was in the midst of his life, not just waiting for it to begin. This powerful message is underscored by the song's distinctive opening, featuring a collage of clocks chiming and alarms ringing, recorded in an antique store. It's a reflection on seizing control of one's destiny and recognizing the relentless march of time.
