[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7/E
How do you know if you've done everything right?
Dm7
Is it the love you have at hand
G7
Or the cash you kiss at night?
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7/E
How do you know if it was worth it in the end?
Dm7
Did every second really count?
G7
Or were there some you should've spent
Am F
On anything but anyone you love?
Am F
Was this the life that you were dreaming of?
F/E Dm7
A movie night, a yellow light
G7 F G7
You're slowin' down and days are adding up
[Chorus]
C F F/E
So don't waste the time you have
G/B C C/B
Waiting for time to pass
Am Dm
It's only a lifetime, that’s only a while
G7 C
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
C F F/E
Don't waste the time you have
G/B C C/B
Waiting for time to pass
Am Dm
It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough
G7 C C/B Am Dm7 G7
You're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7/E
I'm unimpressed by the people preachin' pain
Dm7
In the sake of some small game
G7
In the sake of someone's name
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7/E
I'm unprepared for my loved ones to be gone
Dm7
I call 'em way too often now
G7
Worry way too much about Mom
[Chorus]
C F F/E
So don't waste the time you have
G/B C C/B
Waiting for time to pass
Am Dm
It's only a lifetime, that’s only a while
G7 C
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
C F F/E
Don't waste the time you have
G/B C C/B
Waiting for time to pass
Am Dm
It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough
G7 C C/B
You're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it
[Interlude]
Am Dm7 G7 C G/B Am Dm7 G7
[Bridge]
Am G/B F
It's family and friends and that's the truth
Am G/B F F/E
The fountain doesn't give you back your youth
Dm7 G7
You're stayin' up too late at night and laughin' under kitchen lights
Am G7
So hard, you start to cry
[Chorus]
C F F/E
Don't waste the time you have
G/B C C/B
Waiting for time to pass
Am Dm
It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough
G7 C C/B Am
You're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it
How do you know
If you've done everything right?
Is it the love you have at hand
Or the cash you kiss at night?
How do you know
If it was worth it in the end?
Did every second really count
Or were there some you shouldn't spend
On anything but anyone you love?
Was this the life that you've been dreaming of?
A movie night, a yellow light
You're slowing down and days are adding up
So don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass
It's only a lifetime
That's only a while
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass
It's only a lifetime
That's not long enough
You're not gonna like it without any love
So don't waste it
I'm unimpressed
By the people preaching pain
For the sake of some small gain
In the sake of someone's name
I'm unprepared
For my loved ones to be gone
Call 'em way too often now
Worry way too much about mom
Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass
It's only a lifetime
That's only a while
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass
It's only a lifetime
That's not long enough
You're not gonna like it without any love
So don't waste it
It's family and friends, and that's the truth
The fountain doesn't give you back your youth
It's staying up too late at night and laughing under kitchen lights
So hard you start to cry
Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass
It's only a lifetime
That's not long enough
You're not gonna like it without any love
So don't waste it
