G 
I found it in an old cigar box 
                                    Cadd9 
A timeless treasure my daddy forgot he put there 
   G 
A gold faced Elgin pocketwatch 
                           Cadd9           *** 
He carried in his overalls all those years 
      Em                C                G 
And I wound it up and I held it up to my ear 
      Em             C               D 
And I listened as it ticked away the years 
       Em                 C                   G                  D 
And it took me back there in his lap sitting 'neath an old shade tree 
 Cadd9                                                         D 
As he wound it for the hundredth time and spoke these words to me 
 
 
 
        Cadd9         G 
He said time waits on no one 
       Cadd9         G 
Like a train it just rolls on 
          Em 
It's more precious than gold 
     C 
With hands you can't hold 
             G         Em         C 
You think it won't run out but it will 
      Cadd9     Em        C    D          G 
And boy, only a woman can make time stand still 
 
 
 
G    Cadd9    Em    C    D    G 
 
 
G 
Well I remember plain as day 
                                    Cadd9 
The Good Lord callin' pop away, and how I cried 
     G 
Well it seemed like slow motion then 
 
I can't believe how long it's been 
   Cadd9                      *** 
Oh he was right, time does fly 
  Em            C                G 
Today I'm gonna tell that boy of mine 
     Em               C               D 
Pass daddy's words of wisdom down the line 
 
 
 
 
That time waits on no one 
Like a train it just rolls on 
It's more precious than gold 
With hands you can't hold 
You thin it won't run out but it will 
And only a woman can make time stand still 
 
 
G      Em 
 
And he said only a woman can make time stand still 
 
G      Cadd9    
 
I found it in an old cigar box 
A timeless treasure my daddy forgot he put there..
