Stop the car if I have come this far

Without learning how to make an unexpected turn

Learn to play the changes to the beat of time

Satisfaction never was a friend of mine

Perceive it and say goodbye to it 
                     G     D 
Don't hold on to any one moment

You've got to love it and then release it

Don't hold on to any one moment 
  
  
G                       C 
Send a postcard, if you go to France 
                       G              D 
Let me know if you're alive and doing fine 
       G                       C 
I have never loved by mail, so here's my chance 
                               D            G     D 
I would like to write it, if I ever get the time

Don't hold on to any one moment 
  
  
G                        C 
Draw your boundaries and paint your signs 
                                    G              D 
Though they say 'Alone', at least I have a word to pray 
      G                         C 
And I follow, needing all there is of time 
                         D               G    D 
Solo dancers learn their steps along the way 
  
  

   G                    C 
Perceive it and say goodbye to it 
                     G     D 
Don't hold on to any one moment 
              G                  C 
You've got to love it and then release it 
                     G           D   
Don't hold on to any one moment

G         C 
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Don't hold on to any one moment
