                            A
If you call me I'll come running
C                      A
And you can call me anytime
C                               A
These sixteen strings we're strumming
C                        A
They will back up every line
C                       A
There's a motivation about you
C                         A
That moves me when we're apart
C                 A
It agitates my affection
C                         A
And it wants to break my heart

( E  G  C  A )

E        G
Help me, stranger
C                  A
Help me get it off my mind
E           C
Get me back on my feet
C                      A
Brother, can you spare the time?

Brother, can you spare the time?

                           A
It's not essential that I feel you
C                     A
But it's a sensitive device
C                      A
I'm reverential when I hear you
C                   A
I genuflect to your advice
C                      A
Well, I wish I had the words
C                         A
And I want those words to rhyme
C                    A
And I wish I had the nerve
C                            A
'Cause I sure don't have the time

E        G
Help me, stranger
C                  A
Help me get it off my mind
E           C
Get me back on my feet

Brother, can you spare the time?

Brother, can you spare the time?

Brother, can you spare the time?
