E               B
I turned on the evening news
A              B
Saw a old man being interviewed
E          B                 A
Turning a hundred and two today
E                     B
Asked him what's the secret to life
A              B
He looked up from his old pipe
E            B               A
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Chorus:
E
Don't blink
B                      A
Just like that you're six years old and you
 B
take a nap and you
E                    B
Wake up and you're twenty-five and
      A                                   B
your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
  E
Don't blink
B                         A              B
You just might miss your babies growing like
mine did
E             B                   A
Turning into moms and dads next thing you
            B
know your "better half"
    F#m                 E
Of fifty years is there in bed
             A          E
And you're praying God takes you instead
F#m
Trust me friend a hundred years
      B
goes faster than you think
           E  B A B
So don't blink

I was glued to my TV when it looked
like he looked at me and said
"Best start putting first things first."
'Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
You can't flip it over and start again
Take every breathe God gives you for
what it's worth

Chorus

        F#m
So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
      E
I've been tryin' ta take it in
         A
In this here today, gone tomorrow
             B
world we're livin' in

Chorus

Now, don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
So don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
Don't blink
Don't blink
Life goes faster than you think
