A Year To Go By

C        Em
  Here I am
C               Em
  10 years have I
C          Am            F              G
  Watch me run, watch me play, watch me cry
F             C
  Time has no time
F              C
  The world is mine
       C        Am          F          G
And it takes 10 years for a year to go by

[Verse 2]
C        Em
  Here I am
C      Em
  Now 21
C               Am         F                G
  Learned all I need for a life that’s just begun
F           C
  I know the rules
F             C
  Old men are fools
       C       Am          F          G
And it takes 7 years for a year to be done


[Verse 3]
C        Em
  Here I am
C       Em
  Past 42
C            Am          F           G
  All that I know now if only then I knew
F            C
  Tricked by time
F       C
  Now I find
        C            Am         F          G
That it takes just a year for a year to be through


[Verse 4]
C        Em
  Here I am
C           Em
  As old as old
C                       Am    F                     G
  All sayings have been said, All stories have been told
F           C
  Taught by time
F              C
  The greatest crime is to
C                Am          F        G
Live less than a year when a year has unrolled


[Outro]
F             Em          G        C
  Less than a year when a year has unrolled
