Passenger - Year on Year, Day by Day: chords

G                     D               C
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
And you never slow down

And is love just a foolish emotion?
A Hollywood dream, just a childish notion
Plenty of fish but I am miles from the ocean
For I'm scared that I'll drown

Chorus:
Am                             D7
I always thought that I would see it coming
         G                     C
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 Em                     G
Hey, hey, hey,  I feel it slipping away
Am       D7           G
Year on year, day by day

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 is just the final punch line
Of this comedy show
So make them laugh before you go

Chorus:
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, oh
Hey, hey, hey I feel it slipping away
Year on year
Day by day

Am                      D7
Well, life can drag you under
B7                   Em
And it can feel so frightening
Am                    D7
Love can steal your thunder
B7                       Em
Or struck you down with lightning
Am                          D7
And at the end of it you'll say

Chorus:
I always thought that I would 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
