A              D      
You were the first thing that I thought of
                                    G
when I thought I drank you off my mind.
                         D
When I get lost in the liquor
                       A
you're the only one I find.
     D 
If I did the things I oughta
                       G
you still would not be mine
                              D
So I keep a tight grip on the bottle
        A                D
gettin loose and killing time.

[Chorus]
D           G                 D
This killin time. is killin me.
                A                    D
Drinkin myself blind thinkin I won't see
                         G                 D
that if I cross that line  and they bur-y me
                    C                  G            D
well, I just might find I'll be killin time for eternity.

[Verse]
          D      
I don't know nothin bout tommorow,
                         G
I've been lost in yesterday.
                          D  
I spent all my life just dying for
                    A
a love that passed away.
           D 
There's an end to all my sorrow
                              G
this is the only price I'll pay.
                       D
I'll be a happy man when I go,
            A           D
and I can’t wait another day.

[Chorus]
D           G                 D
This killin time. is killin me.
                A                    D
Drinkin myself blind thinkin I won't see
                         G                 D
that if I cross that line  and they bur-y me
                    C                  G            D
well, I just might find I'll be killin time for eternity.

[Outro]
                    C                  G            D
Yes, I just might find I'll be killin time for eternity.
