Clint Black - "Spend My Time"

Spend My Time

Writer: Clint Black & Hayden Nicholas

C/D
How can we know how far,
The long way can be?
Am7
Looking from where we are,
It never seemed that long to me.
F
I've many miles behind me,
Maybe not so much ahead.
C/D
It seems I made good time,
With the directions I misread.

Am F
So I'm gonna spend my time,
C/D G
Like it's going out of style.
Am F
I'm moving the bottom line,
C/D G G/B
Farther than a country mile.
Am F
I still have hills to climb,
C/D Dm
Before I hit that wall.
F
No matter how much time I buy,
G C/D
I can never spend it all.

C/D
Funny thing, that time:
We're always running out.
Am7
I'm always losing mine,
There's not enough of it about.
F
An' though it's always here,
It will always come and go.
C/D
The days become the years,
That'll be gone before you know.

Am F
So I'm gonna spend my time,
C/D G
Like it's going out of style.

Am F
I'm moving the bottom line,
C/D G G/B
Better than a country mile.
Am F
I still have hills to climb,
C/D Dm
Before I hit that wall.
F
I won't go quietly into that dark night.
Dm
There'll be no more burnin' daylight.
C C/D
I'll be living in,
G
Every moment that I'm in.

Am F
Oh,I'm gonna spend my time,
C/D G
Like it's going out of style.
Am F
I'll only use what's mine,
C/D G G/B
I've been savin' for a while.
Am F
I still have hills to climb,
C/D Dm
Before I hit that wall.
F
No matter how much time I buy,
G C/D Am
I can never spend it all.
F
No matter how much time we buy,
G C/D
We can never spend it all.

I'm gonna spend my time.
I'm gonna spend my time.
