Am
Were hangin' here within' an inch of our lives
Em
from the day we're born until the day we die
G                                   C
don't it make you want to take your time?
G                             Em
are you gonna let it pass you by?

G
Made every way, cut you like a knife

G                                   C
will you be ready with the time you got?
G                                 Em
If you maker either way if you're ready or not

G
Hangin' on by a fragile thread
Em
Livin your life like your already dead
G                                   C
will you be happy with the time you gave?
G                              Em
These words will be your final days

[Verse 3]
C
Wish i could look death in the face
Em
Transcend both time and space
G                        C
and reclaim those bygone days
G                         Em
that i was such a fool to waste

[Verse 4]
G                                     C
When it comes my day when it comes my time
G                                          Em
I hope to hear y'all moaning in the second life
G                           C
Just throw my ashes on some hallow' ground
G                            Em
and sing me on my way with a joyful sound
