Time Is a Thief

This one follows a standard country ballad progression - with a fitting majestic vocal by Newbury.

(G) (D6/f#) 

(G) I woke up this (G7) morning 
(C) And looked at (G) my life
Filled with so much (Em) sorrow and (Am) grief (D)
(G) And my (G7) troubled mind
(C) Could see through (G) the  strife
That (D/f#) time is only a (G) thief

(G) Yes time was a thief (G7)
(C) That stole my (G) tomorrows
Left me with (Em) only (Am) yesterday (D)
(G) Time has (G7) robbed me
(C) Of my precious (G) years
My youth (D/f#) the only ransom I could (G) pay

     You got to (C) treasure each little (G) moment
     You can't (C) let a single (Bm) minute slip (Am) away (D)

(G) Time (G7) is a thief
(C) That robs you of (G) the years
But never (D/f#) returns one (Em) yesterday (Em/d) (C)
(G) Oh no, no (D) one (G) yesterday
