Five More Minutes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][G]
[Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Eight years old, couple cane poles
sittin' down by the creek
[Em]Lines in the water watchin' those bobbers
seein' that red sun sink
[C]Mama's on the porch yellin',
"Supper's hot, y'all come and get it"
We yelled, [Em]"Five [D]more [C]minutes"

[Verse 2]
[G]At sixteen it was 12:03
standin' at her front door
[Em]Katie's dad said midnight,
but we needed just a little more
[C]Yellow light flippin' on and off,
interruptin' that goodnight kissin'
We wanted [Em]five [D]more [C]minutes[G]

[Chorus 1]
[C]Time rolls by, the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the [G]good stuff, the good times
[Em]Oh, but they just keep on flyi[D]n'
[C]Right on by, like it ain't nothin'
I wish I had me a, a pause button
[Em]Moments like those, [D]Lord knows I'd [C]hit it
And give myself five [D]more [Em]minutes[D][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]At eighteen, turned my helmet in
and walked to the fifty-yard line
Just the [Em]coach and me
after we lost eighteen to nine
And I cried, [C]"Man, next time to get in here,
I'll have to buy a ticket
Can't you give me
[Em]five [D]more [C]minutes?"[G]

[Chorus 2]
[C]Time rolls by, the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the [G]good stuff, the good times
[Em]Oh, but they just keep on flyi[D]n'
[C]Right on by, like it ain't nothin'
I wish I had me a, a pause button
[Em]Moments like those, [D]Lord knows I'd [C]hit it
And give myself five [D]more

[Interlude 1]
[G](minutes)[Em][D][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]At eighty-six my grandpa said,
"There's angels in the room"
[Em]All the family gathered 'round,
knew the time was comin' soon
With [C]so much left to say I prayed,
Lord, I ain't finished
Just give us [Em]five [D]more [C]minutes

[Chorus 3]
[C]Time rolls by, the clock don't stop
I wish I had a few more drops
Of the [G]good stuff, the good times
[Em]Oh, but they just keep on flyi[D]n'
[C]Right on by, like it ain't nothin'
I wish I had me a, a pause button
[Em]Moments like those, [D]Lord knows I'd [C]hit it
Yeah, [Em]sometimes this old [D]life
will leave you [C]wishin'
That you had five [D]more

[Outro 1]
