[Verse]

D G D A

Stand on the hill and take a look;

D G D A

Frozen ground and a muddy brook.

D G D A

The fire dies, and a baby cries, alone with all her alibis,

D G D A

Gotta give back what you took.

[Verse]

D G D A

Heaven help the lazy man;

D G D A

Works the hardest on his plan.

D G D A

The fastest day, an inch away, save it for another day,

D G D A

Better run while you still can.

[Chorus]

G D A

You ain’t got half the time you thought,

G D A

Give up all of what you got,

G D A

The only thing that can’t be bought,

G D A

The time of day … just slips away … anyway.

[Verse]

D G D A

Fashion finds a finer thing;

D G D A

To make the fickle angels sing.

D G D A

A slippery hill, a bitter pill, a turn around the fiery still,

D G D A

Another generation crowns its king.

[Bridge]

Bm A G D A

( )

Oh Oh, tell me … tell me it ain’t so

Bm A G

Oh Oh … I want to go

Bm A G D A

( )

Oh Oh … Every, Everybody knows

Bm A G A

The time of day … just slips away … anyway

[Verse]

D G D A

A dozen seasons pass the clock;

D G D A

You’re still reeling from the shock.

D G D A

A sudden glance, a squandered chance, a little hidden playful dance,

D G D A

Another chip falls off the block.

[Chorus]

G D A

You ain’t got half the time you thought,

G D A

Give up all of what you got,

G D A

The only thing that can’t be bought,

G D A

The time of day … just slips away … anyway.

[Outro]

G D A

The time of day … just slips away … anyway.
