[Intro 1]
[C][C][F][F]
[C][C][F][F]

[Verse 1]
How do you [C]know
If you've [F]done everything right?
[Am]Is it the love[Dm] you have at hand
Or the [G]cash you kiss at night?
How do you [C]know
If it was [F]worth it in the end?
[Am]Did every seco[Dm]nd really count
Or were there [G]some you should've spend

[Pre-chorus 1]
On [Am]anything but [C]anyone you [F]love?
Was [Am]this the life
that [C]you were dreaming [F]of?[C]
A [Dm]movie night, a yellow light
You're [G]slowing down
and days are adding [F]up[G]

[Chorus 1]
So don't waste the [C]time you [F]have
waiting for [G]time to [C]pass
It's only a [Am]lifetime
That's only a [Dm]while
It's not worth the [G]anger you felt as a [C]child
Don't waste the time you [F]have
waiting for [G]time to [C]pass
It's only a [Am]lifetime
That's not long e[Dm]nough
You're not gonna [G]like it without any [C]love

[Interlude 1]
So don't waste it
[Am][F][G][G]

[Verse 2]
I'm unim[C]pressed
By the [F]people preaching pain
[Am]For the sake[Dm] of some small gain
In the [G]sake of someone's name
I'm unpre[C]pared
For my [F]loved ones to be gone
[Am]Call 'em way t[Dm]oo often now
Worry [G]way too much about mom

[Chorus 2]
Don't waste the [C]time you [F]have
waiting for [G]time to [C]pass
It's only a [Am]lifetime
That's only a [Dm]while
It's not worth the [G]anger you felt as a [C]child
Don't waste the time you [F]have
waiting for [G]time to [C]pass
It's only a [Am]lifetime
That's not long e[Dm]nough
You're not gonna [G]like it without any [C]love

[Interlude 2]
So don't waste it
[Am][F][G][C][G]
[Am][F][G][G]

[Pre-chorus 2]
It's [Am]family and [C]friends, and that's the [F]truth
The [Am]fountain doesn't [C]give you
back your [F]youth[C]
It's [Dm]staying up too late at night
and [G]laughing under kitchen lights
So [F]hard you start to [G]cry

[Chorus 3]
Don't waste the [C]time you [F]have
waiting for [G]time to [C]pass
It's only a [Am]lifetime
That's not long e[Dm]nough
You're not gonna [G]like it with[G]out any [C]love
So don't [G]waste [Am]it
