Hootie & the Blowfish – Time (Album: Cracked Rear View (1994))

 [D,   Em ]  x4

Time, why you punish me,         Like a wave crashing into the shore

        You wash away my dreams,     

Time, why you walk away          Like a friend with somewhere to go,            You left me crying

Ch:         Asus2                                         G                                    [D/  Em]

Can you teach me about tomorrow & all the pain & sorrow, running free

           Em                                       Asus A                                       [D/  Em]

Cause tomorrow’s just another day   And I don’t believe in time

Time, I don’t understand,           Children killing in the streets

        Dying for the color of a rag,       

Time, hey there red & blue       Wash them in the ocean make them clean,

Maybe their mothers won’t cry tonight

[Pre-Chorus]

      D                                 Em

      Time is wasting      Time is walking      You ain’t no friend of mine

      I don’t know where I’m going

     D              Em                  A    G                                  D    Em   D    Em

      Think I’m out of my mind            Thinking about time

    Em                  Asus                 A                       D    Em   D    Em

      If I die tomorrow yeah     just lay me down to sleep

Solo: |Bm  A  |G     |Bm  A  |D  G  |A  G  |A  G  |A  G  |

[Chorus]

Time, you left me standing there;               Like a tree growing all alone

        The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare

Time, the past has come and gone;    The future’s far away

        But now only lasts for one second, one second

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]  {keep playing Ds and Ems}
