Verse:
D5
It takes a long time to kill a man 

Fifty-five years at least 

Until he breaks down 

Starts to look underground 
                           G5   D5
To go off and get him some peace 

I want to die a lot quicker than that 

If my it's my only way out 

I've been counting up the costs 

Getting up on that cross 

I want to know what this all about 


Chorus:
        A5
Father Time, 
           G5
Steals our days, 
        D5
Like a thief. 
             A5                   G5
There's no price that I wouldn't pay, 
 D5
To get some relief 
 A5                G5
Now I'm an empty shell, 
     B5                   G5
Of a man I don't like so well 
          B5          A5   G5
I am a living, breathing hell, 
D5
Come on and resurrect me 

Verse:
D5
I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine 

It didn't seem to help 

Ah she's got a pretty face 

With her wedding lace 
                              G5    D5
But I'm still waking up with myself 


I know what it means to choke it down 

Up, down till your legs get weak 

I know what it's like on a Saturday night 

To be alone on a crowded street 


Chorus:
         A5
Father Time, 
            G5
Steals our days, 
         D5
Like a thief. 
            A5                   G5
There's no price that I haven't paid, 
              D5
To get some relief 
     A5                    G5
And now I'm the shell of a man, 
          B5           G5
I can't begin to understand, 
         B5          A5 G5
Have I forgotten who I am? 
D5
Come on and resurrect me 

Bridge:
           A5 G5

           D5
