[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 C F
On anything but anyone you love?
Am C 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
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

It's not worth the anger you felt as a child

Don't waste the time you have
G/B C C/B
Waiting for time to pass

It's only a lifetime, that's not long enough

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 C F
It's family and friends and that's the truth
Am C F F/E
The fountain doesn't give you back your youth
Dm7 G7
It's 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
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
You're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it

guys if you turn subtitles on on the original video the actual lyrics will be on the screen. the tab is correct; it's "you're" not "it's" and "gain" not "game"
+3
this is amazing! but in verse 2, it’s “for some small game” not “for some small gain”
otherwise i honestly love this song and this tab did it justice!✨💕
