🎸 Verse 1:
     D                  G                D  Dsus4 D
Last night I dreamed I laid me down and died
D
And lots of people came and signed their name
                       A    Asus4 A
But only a few of them cried
     G           A
They put me in a big pine box
    D                         Bm
And dropped me in a deep dark hole
         G               A                  D Dsus4 D
And the preacher said a prayer for my lost soul

🎸 Verse 2:
D                            G               D  Dsus4 D
Well they covered me up and left me there to rot
D
And the guy next to me said friend I see
                                A  Asus4 A
That's a mighty fine box you've got
    G              A
He seemed kind of friendly
      D                    Bm
So I asked him the time of day
   G
I heard him laughing
       A                      D
Then I know I heard the devil say

🎸 Chorus:
D                   A
Time don't pass by here no more
      G               D
Just empty space and fear
    D                A
No plane to fly, no wine to pour
      G                   D
Only pain to replace the tears
         D                 A
You can never recall your memories
         G                 D
You can never retrace the years
       Em7              A7 A7sus4 A7
You'll cry but no one hears
                          D
'Cause time don't pass by here

🎸 Verse 3:
       D                   G                 D  Dsus4 D
Well I woke up and wiped a tear away from my eye
           D
And me and Mary Jane made a paper plane
                          A  Asus4 A
Just to see how high we'd fly
G                     A
She's just like each passing day
       D                    Bm
She's there and then she's gone
    G                   A              D
And I'm the one that's always gettin' stoned

🎸 Verse 4:
D                          G           D    Dsus4 D
Seems it's hard for me to find where I belong
      D
But I think that I'm the happiest
                              A  Asus4 A
When I'm singing the saddest songs
G                 A
When it comes my turn to die
    D                Bm
And when I'm really gone
            G                  A
I hope the devil writes these words
         D
Upon my tombstone

🎸 Chorus:
D                   A
Time don't pass by here no more
      G               D
Just empty space and fear
    D                A
No plane to fly, no wine to pour
      G                   D
Only pain to replace the tears
         D                 A
You can never recall your memories
         G                 D
You can never retrace the years
       Em   Bm        A
You'll cry but no one hears
                           D
'Cause time don't pass by here

🎸 Outro:
       Em              A   Asus2  A
You'll cry but no one hears
                           D
'Cause time don't pass by here
