[Verse 1]
     D                   A       D
To - day we laid old man Pate to rest
    G                    A         D
His big hands folded a - cross his chest
G                       D
God rest his soul, just two days ago
       G                     D
He was in his yard wavin' to me

   A D
As I stood by his grave
         A            D
The im - pression was strong
    G
One minute we're here
        A          D
And the next we're gone
         G
And with each breath of life
        D        Bm
That is given to us
A         G         A        D
We should only have time for love


[Chorus]
           G
So tell me what can be gained
   A           D
By fussing and fighting
    Bm        G          D
The answer is left up to us
             A    G  D
I think it's time we learned,
    A            Bm
E - nough is e - nough
    A         G         A        D
Oh, we should only have time for love

[Verse 2]
       D                      A       D
Some - times I'm unwilling to open my eyes
G                    A        D
Just too stubborn to compro - mise
         G                             D
When you stand your ground Oh, there's no backin' down
     G                        D
That makes for a long, bitter fight

             D
And you know it's such a waste
        A       D
To en - gage in that
        G
Tearing each other down
     A       D
In a tit for tat
     G
When we could be hard at work,
D          Bm
Building a trust
    A         G         A        D
Oh, we should only have time for love


[Chorus]
           G
So tell me what can be gained
   A           D
By fussing and fighting
    Bm        G          D
The answer is left up to us
             A    G  D
I think it's time we learned,
    A            Bm
E - nough is e - nough
    A         G         A        D
Oh, we should only have time for love


[Outro]
              G       D
Well isn’t it time we learned,
    A            Bm
E - nough is e - nough
    A         G         A        D
Oh, we should only have time for love
