Life Is Short

	  		
Verse 

G 
It’s been coming for me 
D 
I’ve been waiting for it 
C                                        D 
Things have gone just a little bit too fast 
G                  D                         C                        D 
And everybody knows enough is enough 
G 
And I’ve been thinking on it 
D 
I’ve been drinking on it 
C                                        D 
I’ve let my reasons and excuses soak in to my bones 
G                  D                         C                        D 
But I don’t feel like I want to give up 


Pre-Chorus 

G                               D                           C                                    D 
So will I sit here waiting for the sunshine to ease my pain 
G                               D                           C                                    D 
Working on nothing, just wasting my time away 
G                               D                           C                                    D 
Will I settle for the world and the memories that I’ve made 
G                               D                           C                                    D 
Or will I listen to my heart and open my eyes for a change 



G                                      D 
Life is just a little too short 
G                                      C 
To really even worry at all 
G 
Our plans and our schemes 
D 
Often turn into dreams 
C                                                            D 
Won’t you tell me what you’re waiting for 

G                                      D 
Life is just a little too short 
G                                      C 
To really even worry at all 
G 
We hope and we strive 
D 
We’re so busy with our lives 
C                                                            D 
We forget what we’re here for 



Verse 

G 
So I stop for a second and take a look around 
D 
Take in all the visuals, the smells and the sounds 
C                                        D 
Try to see the beauty in the birds and the bees 
G                  D                         C                        D 
But the shadow of my will is hanging over me 

G 
And I, I’ve been keeping busy 
D 
I’ve been getting dizzy 
C                                        D 
I’ve been focusing my energy on nothing really 
G                  D                         C                        D 
And what’s a good book when you can’t read at all 


Pre-Chorus 

G                               D                           C                                    D 
So will I sit here waiting for the sunshine to ease my pain 
G                               D                           C                                    D 
Working on nothing, just wasting my time away 
G                               D                           C                                    D 
Will I settle for the world and the memories that I’ve made 
G                               D                           C                                    D 
Or will I listen to my heart and open my eyes for a change 


G                                      D

Get your hands out your pockets and your eyes on the prize if you really want to get it done 
C                              D 
Just be true to yourself
