[Verse 1]
              C
It's a tug of war
          C
What with one thing and another
              G7
It's a tug of war
G7
 We expected more
         G7
But with one thing and another

In a time to come

It's a tug of war

Though I know I mustn't grumble
              G7
It s a tug of war
                G7
But I can't let go

If I do you'll take a tumble
        G7
And the whole thing is going to crumble

What the air we breathe and the life we lead are all about

But it won't be soon enough
Fm                C
  Soon enough for me

No, it won't be soon enough

  Soon enough for me
