[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][Dsus4][Am]

[Verse 1]
When [Am]time is tight,

You can use it, uh huh
Gonna break [F]this [Am]up, what?
Before we lose it, uh huh, uh huh

[Verse 2]
We [Am]just let things [F]slide
[Am]All the way [F]home[Dm]
[Am]Over all these [F]years
And [Am]nothing was [F]done[Am]

[Verse 3]
Sp turn over [F]once, turn over twice
[Am]And now the clock has stopped
[F]for me and [Am]for you
I'm not afraid [F]of bursting
at the seams
And there's [Am]nothing
that we can [F]do[Am]

Gotta [Am]check these out, right
He don't like it, uh huh
Got an empty head huh?
She can't stand it, uh huh, uh - huh

[Verse 5]
We just [Am]let things s[F]lide
[Am]All the way [F]home[Am]
Over all these [F]years
And [Am]nothing [F]was done

[Verse 6]
[Am]Get a hold of [F]his hands, hold of this legs
[Am]Hold on curly top,[F] hold over blue[Am]
Dragged through the dust, [F]what do I care?
[Am]And there's nothing that we can do[F]

[Verse 7]
When [Am]time is tight, [F]huh?
When time [Am]is tight, uh[F] huh, uh huh
[Am]When time is tight, uh huh[F]
Gonna [Am]break this up, uh huh
[F]
