"It's Not My Time To Go" - by Dan Hicks

G                               A7 
The morning comes with such pain but it's nothing like

C          D             G   
The dose I get when it's night

G                             A7
And I can't help but wonderin' just what it is

C       D              G      
Ain't I living my life right?


The cigarettes I'm smoking don't realize
Nor does the glass from which I drink
For how are they to know just, just what it is
To be a man about to sink?

<CHORUS>
F#                G
Oh-oh-oh-no, it's not my time to go

F#             G      C       G      A7     G
Oh-oh-oh-no, before I go I've got to show...something


The lights keep getting dimmer, hey but what's that to me?
The morning comes with each night
A voice keeps calling my name so loud and so clear
I'll pretend I'm not here

<CHORUS>

No I can't go yet no, I've something to do
And it may take a bit more time
The time it takes to get up and walk out that door
And see the world as before.

<CHORUS>
