Intro
[Cmaj7] [Fmaj7]
(Verse 1)
How do you [Cmaj7]know if you've [Fmaj7]done everything right? [Fmaj7/E]
Is it the l[Dm7]love you have at hand
Or the c[G7]cash you kiss at night?
How do you [Cmaj7]know if it was [Fmaj7]worth it in the end? [Fmaj7/E]
Did every s[Dm7]second really count?
Or were there s[G7]some you should've spent
On an[Am]anything but anyone you l[F]love?
Was t[Am]this the life that you were dreaming o[F]of?
[F/E] A [Dm7]movie night, a yellow light
You're sl[G7]slowin' down and days are adding [F]up [G7]
(Chorus)
So don't waste the t[C]time you h[F]have [F/E]
Waiting for [G/B]time to p[C]pass [C/B]
It's only a l[Am]lifetime, that’s only a w[Dm]while
It's not worth the a[G7]anger you felt as a ch[C]child
Don't waste the t[C]time you h[F]have [F/E]
Waiting for [G/B]time to p[C]pass[C/B]ass
It's only a l[Am]lifetime, that's not long en[Dm]enough
You're not gonna l[G7]ike it without
any l[C]ove so don't w[C/B]aste it [Am] [Dm7] [G7]
(Verse 2)
I'm unimp[Cmaj7]unimpressed by the [Fmaj7]people preachin' pain [Fmaj7/E]
For the [Dm7]sake of some small gain
In the s[G7]sake of someone's name
I'm unp[Cmaj7]unprepared for my [Fmaj7]loved ones to be gone [Fmaj7/E]
Call 'em [Dm7]way too often now
Worry [G7]way too much about Mom
(Chorus)
So don't waste the t[C]time you h[F]have [F/E]
Waiting for [G/B]time to p[C]pass [C/B]
It's only a l[Am]lifetime, that’s only a w[Dm]while
It's not worth the a[G7]anger you felt as a ch[C]child
Don't waste the t[C]time you h[F]have [F/E]
Waiting for [G/B]time to p[C]pass[C/B]ass
It's only a l[Am]lifetime, that's not long en[Dm]enough
You're not gonna l[G7]ike it without any l[C]ove so don't w[C/B]aste it
(Interlude)
[Am] [Dm7] [G7] [C] [G/B] [Am] [Dm7] [G7]
(Bridge)
It's f[Am]amily and fr[G/B]iends and that's the trut[F]h
The f[Am]fountain doesn't [G/B]give you back your yo[F]youth [F/E]
You're s[Dm7]stayin' up too late at night
and l[G7]laughin' under kitchen lights
So h[Am]hard, you start to [G7]cry
(Chorus)
Don't waste the t[C]time you h[F]have [F/E]
Waiting for [G/B]time to p[C]pass[C/B]ass
It's only a l[Am]lifetime, that's not long en[Dm]enough
You're not gonna l[G7]ike it without any l[C]ove so don't w[C/B]aste it [Am]
