Intro: Em D G Em D Cadd9

Verse:
  G
Eight years old a couple cane poles sitting down by the creek
 Em
Our lines in the water watching those bobbers seeing that red sun sink
 Cadd9
Mama's on the porch yelling supper's hot, y'all come and get it
           Em   D    Cadd9
We yelled five more minutes
 G
At sixteen it was twelve o three standing at her front door
 Em
Katie's dad said midnight, but we needed just a little more
 Cadd9
Yellow light flipping on and off, interrupting that goodnight kissing
           Em   D    Cadd9
We wanted five more minutes

Chorus:
 Cadd9
Time rolls by the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops
        G                           Em
Of the good stuff, the good times

Oh but they just keep on flying
 Cadd9
Right on by like it ain't nothing

Wish I had me a pause button
 Em                 D            (Cadd9)
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
             Em   D    Cadd9
Give myself five more minutes

Verse 2:
 G
At eighteen turned my helmet in and walked to the fifty yard line
 Em
It's just the coach and me after we lost state, ten to nine
 Cadd9
And I cried man next time to get in here I'll have to buy a ticket
                   Em   D    Cadd9
Can't you give me five more minutes

Chorus:
 Cadd9
Time rolls by the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops
        G                          Em
Of the good stuff, the good times

Oh but they just keep on flying
 Cadd9
Right on by like it ain't nothing

Wish I had me a pause button
 Em                 D              Cadd9
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
             Em   D    Cadd9
Give myself five more minutes

Verse 3:
 G
At eighty-six my grandpa said there's angels in the room
 Em
With all the family gathered 'round we knew that time was coming soon
 Cadd9
With so much left to say I prayed Lord I ain't finished
              Em   D    Cadd9
Just give us five more minutes

Chorus:
 Cadd9
Time rolls by the clock don't stop

I wish I had a few more drops
 G                                 Em
Of the good stuff, the good times

Oh but they just keep on flying
 Cadd9
Right on by like it ain't nothing

Wish I had me a pause button
 Em                 D              Cadd9
Moments like those Lord knows I'd hit it
 Em                  D                       Cadd9
Yeah sometimes this ole life will leave you wishing
              Em   D    Cadd9
That you had five more minutes
    Em     D     Cadd9
Oh five more minutes
