  			G 
Gaze at the sky 
    Em 
And picture a memory 
   G 
Of days in your life 
    Em                       C 
You knew what it meant to be happy and free 
     Am           G 
With time on your side 

  G 
Remember your daddy 
     Em 
When no one was wiser 
     G 
Your ma used to say 
     Em                        C 
That you would go further than he ever could 
     Am           G 
With time on your side 

Em                      C 
Think of a boy with the stars in his eye 
Em                        C 
Longing to reach them but frightened to try 
Em     Am         Em       Am 
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday 

    G 
But day after day 
    Em 
The show must go on 
    G 
And time slipped away 
  Em                       C 
Before you could build any castles in spain 
    Am              G 
The chance had gone by 

     G 
With nothing to say 
    Em 
And no one to say it to 
G 
Nothing has changed 
Em  
You've still got it all to do 
C 
Surely you know 
    Am              G 
The chance has gone by 

Em                      C 
Think of a boy with the stars in his eye 
Em                        C 
Longing to reach them but frightened to try 
Em     Am         Em       Am 
Sadly, you'd say, someday, someday 

     G 
But, day after day 
    Em 
The show must go on 
        G 
And you gaze at the sky 
    Em                  C 
And picture a memory of days in your life 
     Am           G 
With time on your side 

     Am           G 
With time on your side 
(day after day the show must go on) 
     Am           G 
With time on your side 
(day after day the show must go on)
