F#m What was the point B Of all of those migraines E If life's so short? C#m Don't spend it my way F#m Try to avoid B A pointless time change E If you wanna see the world C#m Don't take the highway F#m If you wanna dance again, you can dance again B Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend E It'll take some time, it'll make you glad C#m To have what you had again Chorus: F#m This isn't how it ends B This isn't where we put down our pens E Go tell the businessmen C#m This isn't how it ends Go sell your shares If you're so worried (If you're so worried) If life's so short (Life's so short) What's your hurry? (What's your hurry?) When you get there You'll tell the jury That you didn't wanna get involved (Get involved, get involved) 'Cause you want mercy (You want mercy) If you wanna dance again, you can dance again Use a lifeline, honey, phone a friend It'll make you cry when you make amends Who wants a millionaire when you can have a friend?
