[Verse 1]
               G/B     Cadd9    G
My preacher's  name was    Jack Daniel's
         G/B       Cadd9     G
Told me about what heaven is like
              G/B  Cadd9             G
Said, "If the road    to there ain't rocky
         G/B         Cadd9    G
Son, you must not be doin' it right"
           G/B   Cadd9            G
I threw my pills out the upstairs window
             G/B      Cadd9    G
Drove to the beach to clear my mind
                G/B   Cadd9         G
I watched those waves crash to rock bottom
           G/B         Cadd9   G
Felt kinda light, this life of mine


[Chorus]
        G/B  Cadd9           G
Buy and buy,      we buy and buy
        G/B  Cadd9   G
Ain't nobody buyin'  time
             G/B   Cadd9           G
We spend our lives     dollars and dimes
            G/B  Cadd9   G
But ain't nobody buyin'  time

[Post-Chorus]
            G/B  Cadd9   G
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh   
             G/B       Cadd9      G
Ah  ooh-ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh 


[Verse 2]
         G/B        Cadd9                G
My daddy said, "Son,      better take vacation
             G/B   Cadd9   G
Even if your money all ran out"
           G/B   Cadd9               G
Now me and daddy     don't talk much no more
             G/B     Cadd9          G
But, damn, I    sure need him right now
           G/B  Cadd9            G
You put my name      up in your journal
        G/B   Cadd9                 G
You re-erased     and tore out that page
             G/B          Cadd9               G
But that's alright, babe,      we'll meet in heaven
         G/B       Cadd9     G
But only God knows      that day


[Chorus]
        G/B  Cadd9           G
Buy and buy,      we buy and buy
        G/B  Cadd9   G
Ain't nobody buyin'  time
             G/B   Cadd9           G
We spend our lives     dollars and dimes
            G/B  Cadd9   G
Huh ain't nobody buyin'  time

[Post-Chorus]
            G/B  Cadd9   G
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh   
             G/B       Cadd9      G
Ah  ooh-ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh 
            G/B  Cadd9   G
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh   
             G/B       Cadd9      G
Ah  ooh-ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh 

[Verse 3]
           G
I broke my pockets, I break my body
             G/B      Cadd9   G
I broke some hearts along the way
          G/B  Cadd9                     G
I can't rewind,      none, there's no vacation
            G/B     Cadd9     G
No where to save me from this pain


[Chorus]
            G/B  Cadd9           G
Uhh buy and buy,      we buy and buy
        G/B  Cadd9   G
Ain't nobody buyin'  time
             G/B   Cadd9           G
We spend our lives     dollars and dimes
            G/B  Cadd9   G
But ain't nobody buyin'  time

[Post-Chorus]
            G/B  Cadd9   G
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh   
             G/B       Cadd9      G
Ah  ooh-ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh 
            G/B  Cadd9   G
Ah ooh-ooh-ooh   
             G/B       Cadd9      G
Ah  ooh-ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh    ooh-ooh 

[Verse 4]
           G                        G/B  Cadd9      G
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
       G/B Cadd9   G           G/B  Cadd9      G
Til my trophies at last I lay down
           G/B   Cadd9        G          G/B    Cadd9    G
And I will cling      to the old rugged cross
       G/B   Cadd9        G          G/B    Cadd9    G
And exchange    'em some day for a crown
