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

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

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
