Cm Db C
There's harder times a-comin'.
Cm Db C
Yes, they're just around the bend.
Cm Db C
Tunnel lookin' darker
Bb7 Cm
For the light down at the end.
When everyone is screamin'
for a handout from you friend,
I doubt they'll have the time to hear
the pearls that you extend.
2. You lay it on real heavy with the logic you employ You're laying up your treasure where the moth and rust destroy. You are gonna find no pleasure in the things you now enjoy. You will starve in your abundance and you paid for every toy.
3. When the ones you thought were friendly turn upon you and attack, Will you have another cheek or will you have to hit them back? They will pilfer from your garden to make up for what they lack. When you're hungry in a mansion they'll be sated in a shack.

4. You won't find a place to hide, 'cause you've been hidden all along. You won't find a secret strength. You have no muscle to be strong. What you never thought you'd do because you knew it would be wrong You will peddle on the streets and you will sell it for a song.
And depending on the hope or hopelessness of the moment...
5. I am headin' for the country where I hope to make a stand. I am gonna dig the dirt and get to know a piece of land. When my friends all come together we will be a country band. When the hardest times are over maybe then we'll understand.

Abm Gm Eb
There's no time to say "I love you."
Gm
Wouldn't be in ten thousand years!
Abm Gm Eb
There are too many thoughts, feelings, and dreams,
Db
And so quick! before time disappears....

Abm Gm Eb
There's a time and a place for ev'rything,
Gm
And in all of our time to be,
Abm Gm Eb
The place doesn't really matter as long
Db
As space contains you and me.
3.
Abm Gm Eb
And we're both gonna live forever,
Gm
And eventually know what's true.
Abm Gm Eb
But through all of eternity-infinite,
Abm Gm Eb
There's no time to say, "I love you."
Abm Gm Eb
