Dmaj7  Gmaj7

[verse 1]
           Dmaj7
How do you know if you've
Gmaj7                  G/B
done everything right?
           Em7
Is it the love you have at hand
        A7
Or the cash you kiss at night?
           Dmaj7
How do you know if it was
Gmaj7                G/B
worth it in the end?
           Em7
Did every second really count?
               A7
Or were there some you should've spent
     Bm                     G
On anything but anyone you love?
     Bm
Was this the life that
                   G
you were dreaming of?
G/B   Em7
    a movie night, a yellow light
         A7
You're slowin' down and
                G   A7
days are adding up

[chorus]
                    D        G   G/B
So don't waste the time you have
            A/C#      D   D/F#
Waiting for time to pass
             Bm                      Em
It's only a lifetime, that’s only a while
                    A7                   D
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
                 D        G   G/B
Don't waste the time you have
            A/C#      D  D/F#
Waiting for time to pass
             Bm                         Em
It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough
                  A7
You're not gonna like it without any
 D             D/F#      Bm  Em7  A7
love so don't waste it

[verse 2]
         Dmaj7
I'm unimpressed by the
Gmaj7                  G/B
people preachin' pain
        Em7
For the sake of some small game
        A7
In the sake of someone's name
       Dmaj7
I'm unprepared for my
Gmaj7                 G/B
loved ones to be gone
           Em7
I call 'em way too often now
      A7
Worry way too much about Mom

[chorus]
                    D        G   G/B
So don't waste the time you have
            A/C#      D   D/F#
Waiting for time to pass
             Bm                      Em
It's only a lifetime, that’s only a while
                    A7                   D
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
                 D        G   G/B
Don't waste the time you have
            A/C#      D  D/F#
Waiting for time to pass
             Bm                         Em
It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough
                  A7
You're not gonna like it without any
 D             D/F#
love so don't waste it

[bridge]
      Bm          A/C#                      G
It's family and friends and that's the truth
     Bm
The fountain doesn't
A/C#                  G    G/B
give you back your youth
        Em7
You're stayin' up too late at night and
 A7
laughin' under kitchen lights
    Bm                A7
So hard, you start to cry

[chorus]
                 D        G   G/B
Don't waste the time you have
            A/C#      D  D/F#
Waiting for time to pass
             Bm                         Em
It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough
                  A7
You're not gonna like it without any
D             D/F#      Bm
love so don't waste it
