Verse 1:
   D MajorD          A augmentedA    D MajorD
To - day we laid old man Pate to rest
  G+G          A augmentedA     D MajorD
His big hands folded a - cross his chest
G+G            D MajorD
God rest his soul, just two days ago
    G+G           D MajorD
He was in his yard wavin' to me

  A augmentedA D MajorD
As I stood by his grave
     A augmentedA      D MajorD
The im - pression was strong
  G+G
One minute we're here
    A augmentedA     D MajorD
And the next we're gone
     G+G
And with each breath of life
    D MajorD    B minorBm
That is given to us
A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
We should only have time for love


Chorus:
      G+G
So tell me what can be gained
  A augmentedA      D MajorD
By fussing and fighting
  B minorBm    G+G     D MajorD
The answer is left up to us
       A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD
I think it's time we learned,
  A augmentedA      B minorBm

Oh, we should only have time for love

Verse 2:
    D MajorD           A augmentedA    D MajorD
Some - times I'm unwilling to open my eyes
G+G          A augmentedA    D MajorD
Just too stubborn to compro - mise
     G+G               D MajorD
When you stand your ground Oh, there's no backin' down
   G+G            D MajorD
That makes for a long, bitter fight

       D MajorD
And you know it's such a waste
    A augmentedA    D MajorD
To en - gage in that
    G+G
Tearing each other down
   A augmentedA    D MajorD
In a tit for tat
   G+G
When we could be hard at work,
D MajorD     B minorBm
Building a trust
  A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Oh, we should only have time for love


Chorus:
      G+G
So tell me what can be gained
  A augmentedA      D MajorD
By fussing and fighting
  B minorBm    G+G     D MajorD
The answer is left up to us
       A augmentedA  G+G D MajorD
I think it's time we learned,
  A augmentedA      B minorBm
E MajorE - nough is e - nough
  A augmentedA     G+G     A augmentedA    D MajorD
Oh, we should only have time for love
