This Precious Time

[A]You've be[G]en keeping me lonely
You've been keeping me do[A]wn       [G]
And I'm sit[A]ting here wondering    [D]
Why I'm still hanging ar[E]ound

The night's grown cold, b[A]abe      [G]
Can't you see the si[A]gns?     [G]
Ah, there's n[A]o use wasting  [D]
This precious ti[E]me

(N/C)            [A]      [G]
Look out your window
Ah, can't you s[A]ee?    [G]
That the s[A]un is getting fast
For you and [D]me          [E]

Ah, you've grown ha[A]rd, babe  [G]
Can't you see the si[A]gns?    [G]
Ah, there's n[A]o use wasting  [D]
This precious ti[E]me

Well, I should be out see[A]king    [D]
Instead of hid[A]ing       [D]
Yeah, I should be out laug[A]hing       [D]
Instead of cry[G]ing, crying, cryi[E]ng

  (N/C)                        [A]       [G]
'Coz you've been keeping me lonely
You've been keeping me d[A]own     [G]
And I'm sitting here thi[A]nking to myself [D]
Why I'm sticking aro[E]und

When you no longer h[A]ear me   [D]
And your eyes can't s[A]ee  [D]
What this pre[G]cious time
Means to someone like[E] me

Oh, I wanna start liv[A]ing   [D]
Life's for the tak[A]ing     [D]
And I've gotta start liv[A]ing   [D]
If I wanna be tas[G]ting, tasting, tas[E]ting
This precious tii[A]iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii[F]iiiiiiiiiiiiii[G]iiiiiiiiiiiiii[A]ime
