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
Life is just a little too short

Our plans and our schemes

Often turn into dreams
C D
Won’t you tell me what you’re waiting for

Life is just a little too short

To really even worry at all

We hope and we strive
D
We’re so busy with our lives
C D
We forget what we’re here for
