Lyrics

Nuthin’ But Time To Give

C
I was out of the runnin’
F C
And I don’t know why
C
I was sure I made the cut
G
It felt so right

C
But you picked jimmy and Johnny and roscoe
F C
I guess I never had the chance
G
But that’s OK anyway
C
I was lookin’ for a woman who was lookin for a real man


C
I am past the point of breaking
F C
I am almost all washed up
C
I was sure I was winning the race
G
But I guess not

C
I know they’ll be another
F C
But I was hopin for your second chance
G
But that’s OK anyway
C
I was lookin’ for a woman who was lookin for a real man


F C
Now I’m on the outside lookin in
G C
Waiting on my ship to come in
F C
Oh I never get tired of waiting
G C
Cause I got nothing but time to give


G
I’ve been lookin’
G
I’ve been playin’
F C
On the wrong side of town

G
blood is too rich
G
maintenance too high
F C
For me to ever nail one down
G
I guess I’ll turn myself around


C
I was out of the runnin’
F C
And I don’t know why
C
I was sure I made the cut
G
It felt so right

C
But you picked jimmy and Johnny and roscoe
F C
I guess I never had the chance
G
But that’s OK anyway
C
I was lookin’ for a woman who was lookin for a real man


F C
Now I’m on the outside lookin in
G C
Waiting on my ship to come in
F C
Oh I never get tired of waiting
G C
Cause I got nothing but time to give


F C
Now I’m on the outside lookin in
G C
Waiting on my ship to come in
F C
Oh I never get tired of waiting
G C
Cause I got nothing but time to give
