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
