Verse:
A
If money is the root of all evil
I’d like to be a bad, bad man
Cause I’m sittin’ here
With nothing but time
Trying to make you understand

G
My love for you is as good as gold
A
But I ain’t got but one dime
G
If I could just get out of this soul
E             D           A
Baby we could have a good time

A
Man said time was on my side
He never knew me that well
Cause I’ve got plenty of time on my hands
Time ain’t easy to sell

G
If I could just get a little bit ahead
A
Think of the things we could do
G
I’d take your tiny little hand in mine
E              D        A
Spend a lot of money on you

Chorus:
G          D     A
But time ain’t money
G          D     A
You know it’s a shame
G          D     A
Time ain’t money
G          D     A
Unfortune thang
G          D     A
Time ain’t money
G          D     A
You know it’s a bitch
G          D     A
If time was money
G          D     A
I’d already be rich

Verse:
A
Suppose to be a check at the union
If only I could pick it up
I got hit with some bad family shit
It looks like I’m out of luck

G
I could be a very rich man
A
Baby you know that its true
G
If I had a dime for every minute of time
E       D           A
I spent thinking of you

Chorus:
G          D     A
But time ain’t money
G          D     A
You know it’s a shame
G          D     A
Time ain’t money
G          D     A
Unfortune thang
G          D     A
Time ain’t money
G          D     A
You know it’s a bitch
G           Em     D   A
If time was money
G                       A
I’d already be rich
