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
Fm Em G
Here I am
Now 21
Learned all I need for a life that'??s just begun
I know the rules
Old men are fools
And it takes 7 years for a year to be done
Here I am
Past 42
All that I know now if only then I knew
Tricked by time
Now I find
That it takes just a year 
for a year to be through
Here I am
As old as old
All sayings have been said
All stories have been told
Taught by time
The greatest crime is to
Live less than a year 
When a year has unrolled
F             Em          G        C
  Less than a year when a year has unrolled
