INTRO: Em D G  Em D C
VERSE:
G
Eight years old a couple cane poles 
G
sitting down by the creek
     Em
Our lines in the water watching 
Em
those bobbers seeing that red sun sink
C
Mama's on the porch yelling supper's hot, 
C
y'all come and get it
           Em    D    C
We yelled five more minutes.


G
At sixteen it was twelve o three
G
 standing at her front door
Em
Katie's dad said midnight, 
Em
but we needed just a little more
C
Yellow light flipping on and off, 
C
interrupting that goodnight kissing,
          Em     D     C
We wanted five more minutes

CHORUS:
C
Time rolls by the clock don't stop
C
I wish I had a few more drops
       G
Of the good stuff, the good times
Em                        D
Oh but they just keep on flying
C
Right on by like it ain't nothing
 C
Wish I had me a pause button
Em                    D             C
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
      C          D       Em  G
Give myself five more minutes

VERSE:
G
At eighteen turned my helmet in and 
G
walked to the fifty yard line
              Em
It's just the coach and me 
Em
after we lost eighteen to nine
             C
And I cried man next time to get in here 
C
I'll have to buy a ticket
                  Em     D      C
Can't you give me five more minutes

CHORUS:
C
Time rolls by the clock don't stop
C
I wish I had a few more drops
       G
Of the good stuff, the good times
Em                        D
Oh but they just keep on flying
C
Right on by like it ain't nothing
 C
Wish I had me a pause button
Em                    D             C
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
      C          D          G
Give myself five more minutes

INSTRUMENTAL: G Em D C

BRIDGE:
G
At eighty-six my grandpa 
G
said there's angels in the room
Em
With all the family gathered '
Em
round we knew the time was coming soon
     C
With so much left to say 
C
I prayed Lord I ain't finished
            Em    D      C
Just give us five more minutes

CHORUS:
C
Time rolls by the clock don't stop
C
I wish I had a few more drops
       G
Of the good stuff, the good times
Em                        D
Oh but they just keep on flying
C
Right on by like it ain't nothing
 C
Wish I had me a pause button
Em                    D             C
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
      Em                  D                   C
Yeah sometimes this all life will leave you wishing
               C   D     G   C
That you had five more minutes
    Em  D       C
Oh five more minutes
