I saw a man, he's a well-dressed man, He had a tan from the Yucatan
FC
He had a car, he looked like a star, I said, Hey, don't I know who you are
GC
But when he glanced into my eyes, I saw yes I saw was such a big surprise
CC7FFm
He was afraid that he's just a bum , Someday when all his stuff is gone and he's left without a dime
C
Time ain't money when all ya got is time,
GC
And you can see him standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and his bright red eyes
CC7
I know a guy, he's a pal of mine, I say, hey. He say, I'm doin fine
FC
I'm movin up the ladder, rung rung rung, I'm gonna get my million while I am still young
GC
But at night when he's had a few, His eyes say different than his tongue
CC7FFm
They say I'm afraid that I'm just a bum, Someday when all my stuff is gone and I'm left without a dime
C
Time ain't money when all ya got is time
GC
And you can see me standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and my bright red eyes
CFCG
Goin hey, hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story, hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey
CC7
Some people live to work, work to live, Any little tremble and the earth might give
FC
Ya can't hide it in a Volvo or a London Fog, Can't hide it in a mansion with an imported dog
GC
No matter how we plan and rehearse, we're at a pink slip's mercy in a paper universe
CC7FFm
They say we’re afraid that we’re just a bum, Someday when all our stuff is gone and we’re left without a dime
C
Time ain't money when all we got is time
GC
And you can see us standin’ on the corner with a nine-day beard and our bright red eyes
CFCG
Goin hey, hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to our story, hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey
CC7
The man of sorrow's acquainted with grief, Stands in line waiting for relief
FC
He will tell ya it wasn't always this way, One bad little thing happened one bad little day
GC
Heartbreak has bad teeth and a sour smell and lives when he can in a cheap hotel
CC7FFm
They say he’s afraid that he’s just a bum, Someday when all his stuff is gone and he’s left without a dime
C
Time ain't money when all he got is time
GC
And you can see him standin’ on the corner with a nine-day beard and his bright red eyes
CFCG
Goin hey, hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story, hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey
