Time to Spare


Capo 2nd fret C F Em Dm I've been thinking about you lately, I've been wondering where you are. G7 C G7 It's been years since we went rambling through the night. C F Em Dm You were gonna write your novel, I was gonna be a star - G7 C We were young and things were sure to work out right. C F Em Dm And oh, the nights were warmer then, G7 C G7 We were free from care. C F Em Dm Nobody wished us anything but well, G7 C We had time to spare. G7 C We had time to spare.

Revolution was a-coming, in the vanguard we would be.
We could feel the coming victory in our bones.
But the music started changing, and one morning around three,
We decided we would all be Rolling Stones.

And oh, the nights were warmer then,
We were free from care.
Nobody wished us anything but well,
We had time to spare.
We had time to spare.

We started getting married, and we started our careers,
But we swore that deep inside we'd stay the same.
The children started coming and they seemed to swallow years,
So we taught ourselves to play a different game.

Now we read it in the papers and we watch it on TV:
All the politics, the passions in the air.
I've been thinking about you lately and much you meant to me
And how wonderful it was when you were there.

And oh, the nights were warmer then,
We were free from care.
Nobody wished us anything but well,
We had time to spare.
We had time to spare.
We had time to spare
.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1987)
