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
[Refrain]
                    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
[Strophe]
         Cmaj7         Fmaj7                  Fmaj7/E 
I'm unimpressed by the people preachin' pain 
        Dm7 
For the sake of some small gain 
        G7 
In the sake of someone's name 
       Cmaj7          Fmaj7                 Fmaj7/E 
I'm unprepared for my loved ones to be gone 
         Dm7 
Call 'em way too often now 
      G7 
Worry way too much about Mom
[Refrain]
                    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

      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
[Refrain]
                 C        F   F/E 
Don't waste the time you have
