        E   G#m     F#
We will all say goodbye
              E    B           F#
But that's alright, happens to everyone
     E        G#m       F#
The "alright" part is a lie
              E    B              F#
But that's alright, we tell it to everyone

If you feel like you're wasting your time
Waste it if you want to
The reason does not have to rhyme
Waste it if you want to

Chorus:
        E       G#m          F#
There's only so much you can do in one lifetime
E B     F#
Take it easy
        E       G#m          F#
There's only so much you can do in one lifetime
E    B       F#
Oh, take it easy

Now the sun is bound to go down
But that's alright
It happens every night
Tomorrow it comes back around
But that's ok
It happens everyday

If you feel like you're wasting your time
Waste it if you want to
The reason does not have to rhyme
Waste it if you want to

Chorus

Lifetime's such a long time. (Waste it if you want)
Lifetime's such a short time.
(Waste it if you want)
Lifetime's such a long time. (Waste it if you want)
Lifetime's such a short time.

Chorus:
There's only so much you can do in one lifetime
Take it easy
There's only too much you can do in one lifetime
Oh, take it easy
Waste it if you want There's only so much you can
do in one lifetime
Take it easy
There's only too much you can do in one lifetime
Oh, take it easy
There's only so much you can do in one lifetime
Take it easy
There's only too much you can do in one lifetime
Oh, take it easy
Take it easy
Oh, take it easy
