Barry McGuire - This precious time

You've been keeping me lo^Anely ^G You've been keeping me do^Awn ^G And I'm sit^Ating here wondering ^D Why I'm still hanging ar^Eound

The night's grown cold, b^Aabe ^G Can't you see the si^Agns? ^G Ah, there's n^Ao use wasting ^D This precious ti^Eme

Ah, can't you s^Aee? ^G That the s^Aun is getting fast For you and ^Dme ^E

Ah, you've grown ha^Ard, babe ^G Can't you see the si^Agns? ^G Ah, there's n^Ao use wasting ^D This precious ti^Eme

Well, I should be out see^Aking ^D Instead of hid^Aing ^D Yeah, I should be out laug^Ahing ^D Instead of cry^Ging, crying, cryi^Eng

You've been keeping me d^Aown ^G And I'm sitting here thi^Anking to myself ^D Why I'm sticking aro^Eund

When you no longer h^Aear me ^D And your eyes can't s^Aee ^D What this pre^Gcious time Means to someone like^E me

Oh, I wanna start liv^Aing ^D Life's for the tak^Aing ^D And I've gotta start liv^Aing ^D If I wanna be tas^Gting, tasting, tas^Eting This precious tii^Aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii^Fiiiiiiiiiiiiii^Giiiiiiiiiiiiii^Aime
