From  the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
I'm  travelling on, far and wide,
 But now it seems,  I'm just a  stranger to myself,
 And all the things  I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone  else.
I  close my eyes, and think of home,
Another  city goes by, in the night,
 Ain't it funny  how it is, you never miss  it til it's gone away,
 And my heart  is lying there and will be til  my dying day.
So  understand
 Don't waste  your time always searching  for those wasted years,
Face up...  make your stand,
 And realize  you're living  in the golden  years.
 Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
 Can't ease this pain, so easily,
 When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
 And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.
 So understand
 Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
 Face up... make your stand,
 And realise you're living in the golden years.

[Em]From the coast of gold, across the seven [D]seas,
[Em]I'm travelling on, far and w[D]ide,
But now it s[C9]eems, I'm just a[Em] stranger to myself,
And all the thin[D]gs I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone[C9] else.

[Em]I close my eyes, and think of h[D]ome,
[Em]Another city goes by, in the ni[D]ght,
Ain't it [C9]funny how it is, you never m[Em]iss it til it's gone away,
And my h[D]eart is lying there and will be [C9]til my dying day.

[G]So  [C]    under[D]stand
Don't [G]waste your time always s[D]earching for those wasted y[C9]ears,
[G]Face [C]up... make your s[D]tand,
And [G]realize you're l[D]iving in the go[C9]lden years.

Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind,
Can't ease this pain, so easily,
When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day,
And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky.

So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years,
Face up... make your stand,
And realise you're living in the golden years.
