Intro
[E] [A/E] [E7] [A/E]
Verse 1
[E]There's no time to kill between the cradle and the [A/E]grave
[E7]Father Time still takes a toll on every minute that you [A/E]save
[A]Legal tender's never gonna change the number on your [D/A]days
[A7]The highest cost of livin's dyin', that's one everybody [D/A]pays
[E]So have it spent before you get the bill, there's no time to [A/E]kill
Verse 2
[E]If we'd known ten years ago today would be ten years from [A/E]now
[E7]Would we spend tomorrow's yesterdays and make it last [A/E]somehow
[A]Or lead the cheers in someone else's game and never learn to [D/A]play
[A7]And see the rules of thumb are all the same that measure every [D/A]day
[E]The grass is green on both sides of the hill, there's no time to [A/E]kill
Chorus
[A]No time to kill, even I've said it, probably always [D/A]will
[A]But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' [D/A]still
[E]No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been [A/E]in
[E]Quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've [A/E]been
[Cmaj7]If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to [B]kill
Verse 3
[E]If we had an hourglass to watch each one go [A/E]by
[E7]Or a bell to mark each one to pass, we'd see just how they [A/E]fly
[A]Would we escalate the value to be worth its weight in [D/A]gold
[A7]Or would we never know the fortunes that we had till we grow [D/A]old
[E]And do we just keep killin' time until there's no time to [A/E]kill
Chorus
[A]No time to kill, even I've said it, probably always [D/A]will

[E]Quit this work and worry lookin' back at where I've [A/E]been
[Cmaj7]If you don't look ahead nobody will, there's no time to [B]kill

[A]But I can look ahead and see that time ain't standin' [D/A]still
[E]No time to kill but time to change the kind of hurry I've been [A/E]in
