Cadd9 
How can we know how far the long way can be 
Am7 
Looking from where we are it never seemed that long to me 
F 
I've many miles behind me maybe not so much ahead 
Cadd9 
Seems I made good time with the directions I misread 
 
 
Chorus: 
Am                 F              C            G 
I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style 
    Am                F            C              G       G# 
I'm moving the bottom line farther than a country mile 
  Am                  F       C               Am 
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall 
          F                                         C 
No matter how much time I buy, I can never spend it all 
 
 
Funny thing that time, we're always running out 
I'm always losing mine, there's not enough of it about 
And though it's always here, it will always come and go 
The days become the years that'll be gone before you know 
 
 
Chorus 2: 
Am                 F              C            G 
I'm gonna spend my time like it's going out of style 
    Am                F            C              G       G# 
I'm moving the bottom line farther than a country mile 
  Am                  F       C               Am 
I still have hills to climb before I hit that wall 
        F 
I won't go quietly into that dark night 
F 
There'll be no more burning daylight 
C 
I'll be living in 
      G 
Every moment that I'm in 
 
Chorus 
 
No matter how much time we buy 
We can never spend it all
