G 
You were the first thing that I thought of  
                                       C 
when I thought  I drank you off of my mind 
                         G                A           D 
When I get lost in the liquor you're the only one I find 
      G                                              C 
If I did the things I oughta This fate would not be mine 
                                G              D                G 
So I keep a tight grip on the bottle getting loose and killing time 
 
CHORUS: 
              C              G 
This Killing time is killing me 
                 D                      G 
Drinking myself blind thinking I won't see 
                     C             G 
Now if I cross that line they bury me 
                    F                    C              G 
Then I just might find I'll be killing time for eterni-ty 
 
lead 
 G                                                           C 
Now I don't know nothing about tomorrow I've been lost in yesterday 
                                       G          A                 D 
Well, I've spent all of my life just dying for a love that's past away 
          G                                                   C 
There's many that know my sorrow this is the only price I'll pay 
                     G               D                  G 
I'll be a happy man when I go and I can't wait another day
