[Verse 1]

Been a righteous gentleman

A man of many skins

Tried to list them all

But I don’t know where to begin

Beggar, thief, a king

Shephard with a sling

You can keep your sword and shield

I don’t need anything

[Instrumental]

A E A E

[Verse 2]

I built a house my dear

So I could keep you near

A voice from above

Was singin’, “have no fear”

You were my consequence

In this holy turn of events

No need to overthink it

‘Cause love makes no sense

[Instrumental]

A E A E

[Chorus]

Time seems to tell me,

“There’s nothing left for you,

so, slow down”

Love used to be a friend

A E

But I don’t see much of him anymore

[Instrumental]

A E A E

[Verse 3]

We made a love so strong

You made this coward belong

Beauty and innocence

Tell me what went wrong

A sickness I couldn’t heal

A sorrow that couldn’t be real

Tell me there’s a reason for this

Tell me what’s left to feel

[Instrumental]

A E A E

[Verse 4]

I thought that I’d done right

But he still came in the night

Tell me what must be done

To forever hold you tight

“There’s nothing left for you,

so, slow down”

Love used to be a friend

A E

But I don’t see much of him anymore

[Ending Verse]

I had my money saved

We picked our wedding day

The Lord sure does give

And He sure does take away
