Intro: Am G F Dm Am G Am G F Dm Am
F
Just in time, I heard the cry
G Am
And looking up, I saw the snowbirds wheeling in the sky
F
They said, "We are the last ones left"
G Am
And so I brought them in, I gave them comfort, gave them rest
F G Am
Just in time, to live another day
F G Am
Just in time, oh they'll live another day
F
Just in time, I read the book
G Am
Such a revelation, we must give back what we took
F
Or the earth will roar like a wounded beast
G Am
The mountains will come crashing, from the valleys to the sea
F G Am
Just in time, oh don't throw it all away
F G Am
Just in time, don't throw it all away...

Will you save it just in time?"

Just in time, I saw the dawn
G Am
Watched the sun arising, on a field of golden corn
F
And through the mist, a million sang
G Am
Friends of the earth, calling out to every man
F G Am
Just in time, oh don't throw it all away, no, no, no
F G Am F Dm
Just in time, oh we'll live another day...
E Am
Oooh, how can I tell you how close we have come
F
That the end of our world has already begun
Dm
There are so many things we will not see again
E
Every day there's another one dying away...
Am
Calling for help
F
Help from your hand

Hand coming down

Down to the world

World it is time

And all that is life

To be living together before everything slips away
