None of them

D A E
Time is gonna take so much away
D A E
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade
D A E
Time is gonna take so much away
D A E
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade
A E
You gotta do something that you can get nicer at,
A E
You gotta do something that you can get wiser at,
A E
You better do something that you can get better at
D A E
'Cause that's the only thing that time will leave you with
D A E
'Cause time is gonna take so much away
D A E
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade
A E
It might be cabaret, it could be poetry,
A E
It might be trying to make a new happy family,
A E
It could be violin repair or chemistry,
D A E
But if it's something that takes lots of time that's good
D A E
'Cause time is gonna take so much away
D A E
But there's a way that time can offer you a trade.
D E
Because your looks are gonna leave you
D E
And your city's gonna change too
D E
And your shoes are gonna wear through
D A E
Yeah time is gonna take so much away,
D A E
But there's a way that you can offer time a trade.
A E
You gotta do something that you can get smarter at,
A E
You gotta do something you might just be a starter at,
A E
You better do something that you can get better at
D A E
'Cause that's the thing that time will leave you with.

And maybe that's why they call a trade a trade,
A C E
Like when they say you should go and learn a trade;
A C E
The thing you do don't have to be to learn a trade,
A C E
Just get something back from time for all it takes away.
A E
It could be many things, it could be anything,
A E
It could be expertise in Middle Eastern traveling,
A E
Something to slowly sow the balance life's unraveling
D A E
You have no choice you have to pay time's price
D A E
But you can use the price to buy you something nice
D A E
Something you can only buy with lots of time
D A E
So when you're old you blow some whippersnapper's mind.
A E
It might be researching a book that takes you seven years
A E
A book that helps to make the path we take to freedom clear
A E
And when you're done you see it started with a good idea
D A E
One good idea could cost you thousands of your days
D A E
But it's just time that you'd be spending anyway
D A E
You have no choice you have to pay time's price
D A E
But you can use the price to buy you something nice
A C E
So I've decided recently
A C E
To try to trade more decently
