[Verse 1]
F                                  C7   C
You missed so much while you were gone
Bb                           C         F
The leaves have changed, and so have I
Dm7                               C7    C
While you were singing strangers songs
Bb        C                    F
The world kept spinning softly by

[Verse 2]
F                             C7  Bb
Your baby sister turned eighteen
Bb                C                   F
She'll pack her things and move away
Dm7                       C7
The dog got shaky in the knees
Bb   C                           F
Soon I'll join him in the grave

[Chorus]
      Bb                   F
Cause time it stops for no man
              C            Bb
So be careful what you do
Bb                  Dm
Love as well as you can
                C                         F
While you still have somebody lovin' you

[Verse 3]
F                          C7sus4
I think about her on the road
Bb            C                  F
And say "it's fine when it's just me"
Dm7                        C7
They were so kind over in Oklahoma
Bb C                              F
I could have stayed in New Orleans
F                           C7     F
She'll be hanging out with friends

[Verse 4]
          C               F
I'm in a hotel room alone
Dm7                      C7
Tomorrow there's another wedding
Bb         C                         F
We'll talk right after on the phone
F
And she'll say

[Chorus]
   Bb                F
Time it stops for no man
          C             Bb
So be careful where you roam
Bb                  Dm
Love as well as you can
                     C                          F
While you still have someone to call you home

[Bridge]
Bb
If you find that the golden shore
     Gm7                     Gm        G
That you've been aiming your whole life toward
   C      F     Eb
Is darker than you'd expected
        E Bb
If you grow tired of all your running
Gm                       G
Drifter please return to us and
F                      C7
Settle down, settle in

[Chorus]
      F
Cause time it stops for no man
           Cm7  C       Bb
So be careful where you roam
                    Dm
Love as well as you can
      D         C
While you still have someone to call you home
