[Verse 1]
     C
Oh, all the money that in my whole life I did spend
G                             C
Be it mine right or wrongfully
C                                            F                 C
I let it slip gladly through the hands of my friends
G                                 C
To tie up the time most forcefully
C                         F  C
But the bottles are done, we've killed each one
Am                            Em   F C
And the table's full and overflowed
             F        C                    F        C
And the corner sign says it's closing time
            Am       Em            G            C
So I'll bid farewell and be down the road

[Verse 2]
C                            F          C
Oh, every girl that ever I've touched
G                      C
I did not do it harmfully
C                             F         C
And every girl that ever I've hurt
G                       C
I did not do it knowingly
           F             C                F         C
But to remain as friends and make amends
Am               Em      F             C
You need the time and stay behind
                        F              C
And since my feet are now fast
          F                   C
Point away from the past
      Am    Em               G             C
I'll bid farewell and be down the line

[Instrumental]
Am Em Am F

[Verse 3]
C                             F    C
Oh, every foe that ever I faced
G                                  C
The cause was there before we came
                           F       C
Every cause that ever I fought
G                                    C
I fought it full, without regret or shame
                     F     C
But the dark does die as the curtain is drawn
       Am                 Em F                     C
And somebody's eyes must meet the dawn
         F                   C   F              C
And if I see the day, I'd only have to stay
         Am        Em              G                 C
So I'll bid farewell in the night and be gone

[Instrumental]
F C F C Am Em Am F

[Verse 4]
C                                                   F             C
Oh, every thought that strung a knot in my mind
G                                                       C
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung
                                                   F                  C
But it's not to stand naked under unknowin' eyes
G                                                  C
It's for myself and my friends, my stories are sung
                    F       C                           F   C
But the time ain't tall, yet on time you depend
            Am        Em               F                C
And no word is possessed by no special friend
                 F           C          F             C
Though the line is cut, it ain't quite the end
Am                Em             F            C
I'll just bid farewell 'til we meet again

[Verse 5]
C                                      F              C
And a false clock tries to tick out my time
G                                     C
To disgrace, distract, and bother me
                                   F                      C
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
G                                     C
And the dust of rumors covers me

But if the arrow is straight, and the point is slick
           Am                        Em         F                C
It can pierce through the dust, no matter how thick
           F            C        F               C
So I'll make my stand, remain as I am
    Am       Em                   G         C
And bid farewell and not give a damn

[Outro]
C F C F C Am Em Am F
