Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]See that long line of people who
keep standing in the rain
Lookin' [D]tired, gettin' [G]cold
[C]And that [G]signal light they're waiting for,
don't ever seem to chang
Killing [D]time, ain't it [G]slow.
Watch [C]them [G]bending with the burden
of the pennies that they save
Marking [D]time, [G]growin' old
Slowly marching by the numbers
to the freedom of the grave
[D]Killing time, ain't it [G]slow
That's [D]the closest thing to living that
[G]they're ever gonna know
And their [D]good times ain't no
better than their [G]bad
'Cause they think they need a signal
light to tell them they can go
Killing [D]time, ain't it [G]sad.[D][G]
[D][G]
Don't feel sorry for those people
who keep standing in the rain
They don't mind,
[D]they don't kno[G]w
'Cause it never crossed their minds
they got a reason to complain
[D]Killing time, ain't it [G]slow.
They're [D]not haunted by the visions
that [G]they never dared to see
And they'll [D]never miss the dreams
they've never [G]had
They're condemned to go
on living in a penitentiary
For killing [D]time, ain't it sad.

[Outro 1]
[G][G][D]
[G]
