[Intro]
D7 G

[Verse 1]
G G7
Well, it's time to pay the fiddler and it's sad to know we've danced it all
C
away
D7
But the warm night's disappearing, leaving nothing but the cold, hard light
G
of day
G7
And it's time to start erasing all the rainbows we've been chasing in our
C
minds
D7 G
We know there's no way of making other ties on us unravel and unwind

[Chorus]
G G7
Yes, it's time to pay the fiddler and today's the day the first installment's
C
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
Well, it's time to pay the fiddler and the naked sorrow dripping from your
C
eyes
D7
Unrestrained and unashamed, we've loved each other, now, we've got to leave
G
it lie
G7 C
But I can feel my hand a-trembling as I search to find the handle on the door
D7
So let's let the fiddler pull his magic bow across our heartstrings just once
G
