Capo 1st Fret (to match recording)

Intro: (E) (A/E) (E7) (A/E) x 2

(E) There's no time to (A/E) kill between the (E7) cradle and the (A/E) grave
Father (E) Time still takes a (A/E) toll on every (E7) minute that you (A/E) save
Legal (A) tender's never (Asus7) gonna change the (A7) number on your (Asus7) days
The highest (E) cost of livin's (A/E) dyin', that's one (E) everybody (A/E) pays
So (Cmaj7) have it spent before you get the (B7) bill, there's no time to (E) kill

(A/E) (E7) (A/E)

If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last somehow
Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play
And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every day
The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to kill
 
  No time to (A) kill, even (Asus7) I've said it, and (A) probably always (Asus7) will
  But (A) I can look a(Asus7)head and see that (A) time ain't standin' (Asus7) still
  No time to (E) kill but time to (E7sus) change the kind of (E) hurry I've been (E7sus) in
  And (E) quit this work and (E7sus) worry lookin' (E) back at where I've (E7sus) been
  If (Cmaj7) you don't look ahead nobody (B7) will, there's no time to (E) kill 

(A/E) (E7) (A/E)

If we had an hour glass to watch each one go by
Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they fly
Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in gold
Or would we never know the fortunes that we had 'til we grow old
And do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to kill

Repeat Chorus Twice

(E) (A/E) (E7) (A/E)

No time to (E) kill (A/E) (E7) (A/E)

Fade out...
