Key: G major
Verse 1
A
See that long line of people who
keep standing in the rain
E
A
Lookin' tired, gettin' cold
D
A
And that signal light they're waiting for,
don't ever seem to chang
E
A
Killing time, ain't it slow.
D
A
Watch them bending with the burden
of the pennies that they save
E
A
Marking time, growin' old
Slowly marching by the numbers
to the freedom of the grave
E
A
Killing time, ain't it slow
E
That's the closest thing to living that
A
they're ever gonna know
E
And their good times ain't no
A
better than their bad
'Cause they think they need a signal
light to tell them they can go
E
A
E
A
Killing time, ain't it sad.
E
A
Don't feel sorry for those people
who keep standing in the rain
They don't mind,
E
A
they don't know
'Cause it never crossed their minds
they got a reason to complain
E
A
Killing time, ain't it slow.
E
They're not haunted by the visions
A
that they never dared to see
E
And they'll never miss the dreams
A
they've never had
They're condemned to go
on living in a penitentiary
E
For killing time, ain't it sad.
