Intro:
Am       C       D

A              E         D
The aim of my time is to fill up my mind
A                     F#m       E
And when it gets too full I forget
A              E        D
Now if I'm late and I'm making you wait
A                          F#m              E
And there ain't one thing around that's even funny

A              E              D
Seeing things clearly and I thank you so dearly
A                     F#m              E
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
D                                   F#m       
When it's all a drag that's when you give it all away
D                            E
Put it all in bags, it's going to charity

Am       C       D
You just can't go back (just killing time)
Am       C       D
You just can't go back

E              A
Everybody's going their own way
E              A
This world is gonna make you stay
E              A
It's more than amusement now
E              Am       C       D
You're just killing time

Am       C       D
(Just killing time) You just can't go back (×3)

A              E              D
Fifteen years later, caught in time's incinerator
A              F#m       E
Yesterday's worries are today's
A                     E              D
But the good times are so near, just sitting back and drinking beer
A                            F#m       E
You know I'm halfway down the road but I know that I still ain't there

Seeing things clearly and I thank you so dearly
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
When it's all a drag that's when you give it all away
Put it all in bags, it's going to charity

You just can't go back
(Just killin' time)
You just can't go back

Everybody's going their own way
This world is gonna make you stay
It's more than amusement now
You're just killing time
