Key of G · Chords: I II IV V VII

Verse 1

G
You were the first thing that I thought of
                                  C
When I thought I drank you off my mind
                       G                      A7    D7
When I get lost in the liquor you're the only one I find
         G                                              C
And if I did the things I oughta you still would not be mine
                                 G
So I'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
        D7                G
Gettin' loose and killin' time

Verse 2

             C               G
This killin' time is killin' me
                D7                     G
Drinkin' myself blind thinkin' I won't see
                     C                  G
That if I cross that line and they bury me
                 F                    C              G
But I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

Verse 3

                                                     C
I know nothin' bout tomorrow I've been lost in yesterday
                            G           A7               D7
I've spent all my life just dyin' for a love that passed away
           G
There's an end to all my sorrow
                                C
And this is the only price I'll pay
                         G                D7           G
I'll be a happy man when I go and I can't wait another day

Verse 2

             C               G
This killin' time is killin' me
                D7                     G
Drinkin' myself blind thinkin' I won't see
                     C                  G
That if I cross that line and they bury me
                 F                    C              G
But I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity

Verse 4

             F                    C              G
I just might find I'll be killin' time for eternity
