Well it's time to pay the fiddler
And it's sad to know we've danced it all [C]away
But the [D7]warm night's disappearing
Leaving nothing but the cold hard light of [G]day
And it's time to start erasing
All the rainbows we've been chasing in our [C]minds
We [D7]know there's no way of making
Other ties on us unravel and un[G]wind
Yes it's time to pay the fiddler
And today's the day the first installment's [C]due
For the [D7]rest of all my days I'll wonder why
The maker mismatched me and [G]you
But there's so much to consider like my wife and little children
Will need and want my love just like you [C]do
Now it's [D7]time to pay the fiddler but before we pay the fiddler
Let's ask him to please play one last final [G]tune
Well it's time to pay the fiddler
And there's naked sorrow dripping from your [C]eyes
Unre[D7]strained and unashamed we love each other
Now we've got to leave it [G]lie
But I can feel my hands trembling
As I search to find the handle on the [C]door
So let's [D7]let the fiddler pull his magic bow
Across our heart strings just once [G]more
Repeat # 3 & 4
And it's sad to know we've danced it all [C]away
