[D]Time was [G]once just a [D]clock to me
And [D]life was just a [G]book a [A]biography
[D]Success was [G]something you just [D]had to be
And [D]I would spend [G]myself u[A]nknowingly

And you [G]know that I [A]could have me a [D]million more friends
[D]And all Id have to lose is my point of [A]view
But I [D]had no idea what a [G]good time would cost
Till last [A]night when I sat and talked with [D]you.

( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/john_prine/a_good_time_crd.html )
[D]An apple will [G]spoil if its [D]been abused
A [D]candle disap[G]pears when its been [A]used
A [D]rainbow may [G]follow up a [D]hurricane
And [D]I cant leave for[G]ever on a [A]train

And you [G]know that Id sur[A]vive if I [D]never spoke again
[D]And all Id have to lose is my [A]vanity
But I [D]had no idea what a [G]good time would cost
Till last [A]night when you sat and talked with [D]me.

You can [D]smile for the [G]lack of something [D]else to do
And [D]no one will [G]laugh and point at [A]you
If your [D]tears didnt [G]always make me [D]feel so bad
[D]Would you still cry every [G]time that you felt [A]sad?

I [G]thought Id heard and [A]seen enough to [D]get along
[D]Till you said something neither of us [A]knew
And I [D]had no idea what a [G]good time would cost
Till last [A]night when I sat and talked with [D]you.[A][D]
