[Intro]
 
Cmaj7  Fmaj7  x2
 
[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     
You're not gonna like it 
             C             C/B      Am  Dm7  G7
without any love so don't waste it
 
[Verse 2]
         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
 
[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                         
You're stayin' up too late at night 
     G7
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     
You're not gonna like it 
             C             C/B      Am
without any love so don't waste it
