Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
We could go to
get a bar of chocolate
F 
Or maybe an ice cream cone
C 
I could pour you a snort of whiskey
G 
And see if you could hold your own
C 
But the problem with making promises
F 
Is that they're always set in stone
C 
G 
If I had time, I could help you
C 
But I don't
I know you could use my assistance
With all those projects
F 
that you've got at home
C 
And I could use some of your time too
G 
If the truth be known
C 
I could help you with your homework
But I gotta tell you that you're on your own
F 
C 
G 
C 
If I had time, I could help you, but I don't
F 
If I had time, we could tackle it together
C 
And we'd get it done in no time at all
D 
Then you'd have more
time with your girlfriend
G 
Or more time for playing baseball
C 
I could make you a wager
on the football game
F 
But I'd need you to spot me alone
C 
Until you find the time to squeeze me in
G 
I guess I'll have to settle for the phone
C 
I'm old and I could use the company
But I'm no stranger to bein' alone
F 
C 
G 
If I had time, I could help you,
C 
F 
C 
D 
but I don't
G 
C 
Now, I might be from Missouri,
F 
but I don't need to be shown.
I'm just the right guy
C 
to get you what you need.
G 
If I was able, you'd know that I'd go,
C 
but I've got plans, you see,
and they'll keep me busy.
I'd like to help you more than you know
F 
C 
G 
If I had time, I could help you,
C 
but I don't
You're gonna have
troubles along the way
F 
And you've got such a long way to go
C 
You'll just have to hope for good luck
G 
And try to snap that dry wishbone
C 
I suppose that I could find a way
F 
To get you through your pain, but I won't
C 
G 
C 
If I had time, I could help you, but I don't
F 
If I had time, I'd tell you I'm only joking
C 
But we both know that's just the way it is
D 
One of us is on their way out
G 
And the other barely on their way in
C 
As the years go by,
don't feel bad about the time
F 
you never had so long ago.
C 
I understand, you were just a young man,
G 
and at least I had the chance
to watch you grow.
C 
Every time we get together,
we always laugh,
and I wish I could be around
F 
when you're old.
C 
G 
C 
If I had time, I could help you, but I don't
G 
C 
If I had time, I could help you, but I don't you
