G
Well it's time to pay the fiddler
C
And it's sad to know we've danced it all away
D7
But the warm night's disappearing
G
Leaving nothing but the cold hard light of day
And it's time to start erasing
C
All the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds
D7
We know there's no way of making
G
Other ties on us unravel and unwind
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler
C
And today's the day the first installment's due
D7
For the rest of all my days I'll wonder why
G
The maker mismatched me and you
But there's so much to consider like my wife and little children
C
Will need and want my love just like you do
D7
Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
G
Let's ask him to please play one last final tune
Well it's time to pay the fiddler
C
And there's naked sorrow dripping from your eyes
D7
Unrestrained and unashamed we love each other
G
Now we've got to leave it lie
But I can feel my hands trembling
C
As I search to find the handle on the door
D7
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow
G
Across our heart strings just once more
Well it's time to pay the fiddler
C
And it's sad to know we've danced it all away
D7
But the warm night's disappearing
G
Leaving nothing but the cold hard light of day
And it's time to start erasing
C
All the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds
D7
We know there's no way of making
G
Other ties on us unravel and unwind
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler
C
And today's the day the first installment's due
D7
For the rest of all my days I'll wonder why
G
The maker mismatched me and you
But there's so much to consider like my wife and little children
C
Will need and want my love just like you do
D7
Now it's time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
G
Let's ask him to please play one last final tune
Well it's time to pay the fiddler
C
And there's naked sorrow dripping from your eyes
D7
Unrestrained and unashamed we love each other
G
Now we've got to leave it lie
But I can feel my hands trembling
C
As I search to find the handle on the door
D7
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow
G
Across our heart strings just once more
