(intro; repeat as necessary)

E                  Aadd4            E7#3         Aadd4
There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave
        E                 Aadd4        E7#3         Aadd4
Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save
       A              Dadd4          A7#3           Dadd4
Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your days
             E               Aadd4          E7#3       Aadd4
The highest cost of livin's dyin', that's one everybody pays
   Cmaj7            Cmaj7            B7            B7
So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to kill
E  Aadd4  E7#3  Aadd4
(turnaround)

If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from now
Would we spend tomorrow's yesterday 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

            A7          Dadd4          A7                Dadd4
No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
    A7            Dadd4          A7                    Dadd4
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still
            E               Aadd4            E               Aadd4
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
    E                   Aadd4      E                   Aadd4
And quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've been
   Cmaj7           Cmaj7        B7            B7
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill
E  Aadd4  E  Aadd4
(turnaround)

If we had an hourglass 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 till we grow old
Or do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to kill

No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill

No time to kill, even I've said it and probably always will
But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' still
No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been in
And quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've been
If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to kill
               E  Aadd4  E  Aadd4
No time to kill                (repeat several times)
