D    A    E     x4


D             A            E
Time is gonna take so much away
              D                 A           E 
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade 
D             A            E
Time is gonna take so much away
              D                 A           E 
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade 


          A                             E
You gotta do something that you can get nicer at,
          A                             E 
You gotta do something that you can get wiser at,
           A                             E 
You better do something that you can get better at
                  D               A                   E 
'Cause that's the only thing that time will leave you with 


       D             A            E 
'Cause time is gonna take so much away
              D                 A           E 
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade

 
            A                    E  
It might be cabaret, it could be poetry,
            A                          E    
It might be trying to make a new happy family,
   A                         E  
It could be violin repair or chemistry,
            D                    A                   E   
But if it's something that takes lots of time that's good 


       D             A            E 
'Cause time is gonna take so much away
              D                 A           E 
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade.
 

             D                        E
Because your looks are gonna leave you 
         D                       E  
And your city's gonna change too 
         D                            E 
And your shoes are gonna wear through 


     D             A            E
Yeah time is gonna take so much away,
              D                A            E 
But there's a way that you can offer time a trade. 

[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/j/jeffrey-lewis/308908.html ]
          A                             E 
You gotta do something that you can get smarter at,
          A                                E 
You gotta do something you might just be a starter at,
           A                             E 
You better do something that you can get better at
       D                     A                   E    
'Cause that's the thing that time will leave you with. 


D    A    E    x4


          A                   C          E 
And maybe that's why they call a trade a trade,
               A              C              E 
Like when they say you should go and learn a trade; 
              A                C             E 
The thing you do don't have to be to learn a trade,
                   A                  C            E 
Just get something back from time for all it takes away. 


            A                        E
It could be many things, it could be anything,
            A                           E   
It could be expertise in Middle Eastern traveling,
             A                             E 
Something to slowly sow the balance life's unraveling 


            D                  A          E 
You have no choice you have to pay time's price
            D                A                 E 
But you can use the price to buy you something nice
          D            A                E  
Something you can only buy with lots of time
               D                 A                E  
So when you're old you blow some whippersnapper's mind. 


            A                                 E
It might be researching a book that takes you seven years
            A                                 E  
A book that helps to make the path we take to freedom clear
                A                              E
And when you're done you see it started with a good idea


         D                   A                 E 
One good idea could cost you thousands of your days
              D                  A           E 
But it's just time that you'd be spending anyway 

            D                  A          E 
You have no choice you have to pay time's price
            D                A                 E 
But you can use the price to buy you something nice


A    C            E 
  So I've decided recently
A    C                 E  
  To try to trade more decently


A    C    E    x2

D    A    E    x4
