For the most part, he strums straight eighth notes through the whole song just varying the accents.
The chords indicated with asterisks are single strums. The notes in parentheses are individual notes to walk
between chords.
For the Am7 in the intro, he plays x02213
[Intro]
G Dsus4 Cadd9 x2
Em7 Bm C Am7 D7sus4 D
[Verse 1]
G D Cadd9 Well, is life just a walk up a steep hill? G D C You get to the top and then it's all downhill Em Bm C You're spinning 'round like the arms of a windmill Am D7 D7sus2 D7 And you never slow down
[Verse 2]
G D Cadd9 And is love just a foolish emotion? G D Cadd9 A Hollywood dream, just a childish notion Em Bm C Plenty of fish but I'm miles from the ocean Am D7 D7sus2 D7 For I'm scared that I'll drown
[Chorus 1]
Am D7 I always thought that I would see it coming G C C/B Like a train rolling down the line Am D7 I never dreamed that I would end up running G G7 Away from myself and out of time Am D7 D7sus2 D Em (F#) G Gsus4 G Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away Am D7 G Year on year, day by day
[Instrumental]
G Dsus4 Cadd9 x2
[Verse 3]
G* Dsus4* Cadd9* And how do you know when it's really crunch time? G* Dsus4* Cadd9* You could choke on a fortune cookie one unfortunate lunchtime Em Bm C And I fear death could be the final punchline Am D7 D7sus2 D Of this comedy show Am D7 D7sus2 D So make 'em laugh before you go
[Chorus 2]
Am D7 I always thought that I would feel it coming G C C/B Like a storm in a summer sky Am D7 I thought I'd hear the marching band drumming G G7 Thought I'd see the fireworks reflect in her eyes Am D7 D7sus2 D Em (F#) G Gsus4 G Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away Am D7 G Gsus4 G Year on year, day by day
[Bridge]
Am D7 Well, life can drag you under B7 Em Em7 Em And it can feel so frightening Am D7 Love can steal your thunder B7 Em Em7 Em Or strike you down with lightning Am* D7* And at the end of it you'll say
[Chorus 3]
Am D7 I always thought that I'd see it land G Em And the hairs on the back of my neck would stand Am D7 But there's no fireworks or marching band G G7 Just a letter from the queen if you live longer than planned, oh Am D7 D7sus2 D Em (F#) G Gsus4 G Hey, hey, hey, I feel it slipping away Am D7 Em (F#) G Gsus4 G Year on year, day by day Am D7 G Gsus4 Gsus4 G Gadd2 G Year on year, day by day
