I turned on the evening news 
G             A 
Saw a old man being interviewed 
D          A               G 
Turning a hundred and two today 
D                A 
Asked him what's the secret to life 
G            A 
He looked up from his old pipe 
D           A               G 
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Don't blink 
A                     G                     A 
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you 
D                  A 
Wake up and you're twenty-five and  
     G                                   A 
your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

A                   G                    A

D            A                  G                    A 
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half" 
    Em                  D 
Of fifty years is there in bed 
    G                        D 
And you're praying God takes you instead 
Em                                          A 
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think

D               A                 G                 A 
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said 
D            A                    G          A 
"Best start putting first things first." 
D                     A 
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand 
         G                  A 
You can't flip it over and start again 
D                       A                      G 
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth
