Gmaj7 Dmaj7
How do you know
[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
If you've done everything right?
Bm/F# Em7
Is it the love you have at hand
A6
Or the cash you kiss at night?
A Dmaj7
How do you know
Gmaj7
If it was worth it in the end?
Bm/F# Em7
Did every second really count?
A6
Or were there some you should've spent
[Pre-Chorus]
A Bm D/A G
On anything but anyone you love?
Bm D/A G D/F#
Was this the life that you were dreaming of?
Em7
A movie night, a yellow light
Asus4 A G
You're slowing down and days are adding up
A7sus4 D G
So don't waste the time you have
[Chorus]
A Asus4 D
Waiting for time to pass
F#m/C# Bm
It's only a lifetime,
Em7
that's only a while
Asus4 A D
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
D G
Don't waste the time you have
A Asus4 D
Waiting for time to pass
F#m/C# Bm
It's only a lifetime,
that's not long enough
Em7 Asus4 A
You're not gonna like it without any love,
D F#m/C#
so don't waste it
[Post-Chorus]
Bm G A Dmaj7
I'm unimpressed
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7 Bm/F#
By the people preaching pain
Em7
For the sake of some small gain
A6
In the sake of someone's name
A Dmaj7
I'm unprepared
Gmaj7
For my loved ones to be gone
Bm/F# Em7
Call 'em way too often now
A6
Worry way too much about mom
A D G
Don't waste the time you have
[Chorus]
A Asus4 D
Waiting for time to pass
F#m/C# Bm
It's only a lifetime,
Em7
that's only a while
Asus4 A D
It's not worth the anger you felt as a child
D G
Don't waste the time you have
A Asus4 D
Waiting for time to pass
F#m/C# Bm
It's only a lifetime,
that's not long enough
Em7 Asus4 A
You're not gonna like it without any love,
D F#m/C#
so don't waste it

[Bridge]
Bm D G
It's family and friends and that's the truth
Bm D G D
The fountain doesn't give you back your youth
Em7 Asus4
It's staying up too late at night and laughin' under
A
kitchen lights
G
So hard, you start to cry
A D G
Don't waste the time you have
[Outro]
A Asus4 D
Waiting for time to pass
F#m/C# Bm
It's only a lifetime,
that's not long enough
Em7 Asus4 A
You're not gonna like it without any love,
D F#m/C# Bm
so don't waste it
