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

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque les incertitudes de la vie, comparant son parcours à une montée difficile, suivie d'une descente inévitable. Elle traite de la peur de l'échec et de l'amour, tout en réfléchissant sur le passage du temps qui semble échapper à notre contrôle. Le contexte de ce morceau pourrait être celui d'une introspection profonde, où l'artiste revient sur ses expériences et ses émotions face aux défis de l'existence, à la recherche de sens dans un monde souvent déroutant. Les images poignantes et les interrogations résonnent avec ceux qui se questionnent sur leur propre cheminement.
