[Verse 1]
E
2020, quaran-time, land of the free
E
Ain't nobody going nowhere, nothing here to see
A
How long am I expected to stare at these four walls?
E
The voices in my head are screaming down the hall
B
Telling me to find a place where I can go and play
B
I'm all freed up, but I can't get away
[Chorus]
A E
I got time, but I ain't got the money
B E
It's not unusual, it's a hell of a thing
A E
And I heard the line that the truth can be funny
B E
I got the time, but I ain't got the money
[Verse 2]
E
I'm online to chat, I find a place to escape
E
But it's spring break in Ibiza and summer's on the Cape
A
Wine and dine sixty-nine, champagne and caviar
E
Members of a different club, the billionaires, and stars
B
How can a blue collar, low-dollar, poor boy like me
E
Find a seat at the table in another galaxy?
[Chorus]
A E
I got time, but I ain't got the money
B E
It's not unusual, it's a hell of a thing
A E
And I heard the line that the truth can be funny
B E
See I got the time, but I ain't got the money
B C# A E
I got the time, but I ain't got the money
[Instrumental Break]
C# A B
E
[Verse 3]
E
Play my numbers, sit and wonder how to strike it rich
E
Fantasy's my mistress, reality's a bitch
A
That calls up to invite me to vacation with my friends
E
But I don't wanna hear it, I know how this story ends
B
I'm all freed up but I can't get away
B
All freed up but I can't get away
B
All freed up but I can't get away
[Chorus]
A E
I got time, but I ain't got the money
B E
It's not unusual, it's a hell of a thing, thang, thang
A E
I heard the line that the truth can be funny
B E
See I got the time, but I ain't got the money
B C# A
I got the time, but I ain't got the money

I got the time, no, I ain't got the money

I got the time, but I ain't got the money
E C# D D# E
I got the time, but I ain't got the money
