I can’t see no reason to put up a fight

Time is the essence, Time is the season
Time ain’t no reason, Got no time to slow
Time everlasting, Time to play b-sides
Time ain’t on my side, Time I’ll never know
[Chorus]
Am-G-Am G F G G
Burn out the day
Burn out the night
C F G-G
I’m not the one to tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
C C/B Am G Dm Em-F G-G
I’ve seen suns that were freezing and lives that were through
