Verse
G
It takes a long time to kill a man
Sixty-five years at least
Until he breaks down, starts to look underground
C
To go off and get him some peace
G
I want to die a lot quicker than that
If it's my only way out
I've been counting up the costs
Getting up on that cross
Wanna know what this is all about
Chorus
D C G
Father Time steals our days, like a thief
D C G
There's no price that I haven't paid to get some relief
D C Em C
I've become an empty shell of a man I don't like so well
Em C G
I am a living, breathing hell, come on and resurrect me
Verse
G
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
But I'm still waking up with myself
I know what it means to choke it down
Drivin' till your legs get weak
I know what it's like on a Saturday night
To be alone on a crowded street
Chorus
Interlude

Chorus
D C G
Father Time steals our days, like a thief
D C G
There's no price that I haven't paid to get some relief
D C Em C
I've become a shell of a man I can't begin to even understand
Em C G
Have I forgotten who I am, come on and resurrect me
