CAPO II


INTRO: E A B E (2x)

E                    A
My poor mom was in labor twelve hours
          B                E
And I was born around 6 a.m.
                                          A
And for the time it took her to bring me in this world
        B                                   E
You'd a thought the girl was gonna have twins


Now I'd be a day older if that doctor hadn't told her
I'd be better off if I came late
She said fine and that gave him plenty of time
To get in 18 holes that day


CHORUS:
     E                  A
Yeah time, time, everything takes time
               B                          E
From grabbin' hold of life to turnin' it loose
                                      A
And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines
   B                    E
We all lost a minute or two


B


There's a 15 year old ridin' shotgun down the road
Can't wait to get behind the wheel
And a grandma in the kitchen washin' dishes and wishin'
She still knew how sixteen feels


Every year we get older the months seem shorter
Kinda like weeks and weeks seem like days
Yeah the hours fly by when you're havin' a good time
But they don't stand still when ya ain't


CHORUS


INTRO


BRIDGE:
     C#m                       E
Time only moves forward every minute leanin' towards
     A                     E
That day our hair is gonna gray
       C#m                        E
We all make it and we use it, we waste it and abuse it
          A                        B
While the clock just laughs in our face


CHORUS

     E                    A
Yeah time, time, we got nothin' but time
B                                               E
And there ain't a dag-gum thing about it we can do
                                     A
And in the time that went by while I sang you those lines
    B                     E
We lost another minute or two
   C#m   A   B                         B
So let's not lose another minute or two
