    There's no time to kill between the cradle and the grave,
                 E                         A                   E                      A
    Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you save.

    Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your days,

    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.
                           A                          D                          A                    D
    Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to play,

No time to kill, even I've said it, 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,

quit this work and worry, lookin' back at where I've been.

    If we had an hourglass to watch each one go by,
             E                          A                          E                          A
    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,
                          E                      A                         E                       A
    or would we never know the fortunes that we had till we grow old.
