[Intro]
D7 G
[Verse 1]
G G7 C Well, it's time to pay the fiddler and it's sad to know we've danced it all away D7 G But the warm night's disappearing, leaving nothing but the cold, hard light of day G7 C And it's time to start erasing all the rainbows we've been chasing in our minds D7 G We know there's no way of making other ties on us unravel and unwind
[Chorus]
G G7 C Yes, it's time to pay the fiddler and today's the day the first installment's due D7 G For the rest of all my days, I'll wonder why the maker mismatched me and you G But there's so much to consider, like my wife and little children G7 C Who 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
[Verse 2]
G G7 C Well, it's time to pay the fiddler and the naked sorrow dripping from your eyes D7 G Unrestrained and unashamed, we've loved each other, now, we've got to leave it lie G7 C But I can feel my hand a-trembling as I search to find the handle on the door D7 G So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow across our heartstrings just once more
[Chorus]
G G7 C Yes, it's time to pay the fiddler and today's the day the first installment's due D7 G For the rest of all my days, I'll wonder why the maker mismatched me and you G But there's so much to consider, like my wife and little children G7 C Who 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
