                               A#
One day its here and then its gone
                          G#
How are you still holding on
                          D#
How are you still holding on

You felt this way for far too long
Waitin' for a change to come
You know you're not the only one

Chorus:
 G#             D#
Life passes you by
                       G#
Don't be wasting your time
        D#
On your own

You're always tryin' to see yourself
Through the eyes of someone else
Through the eyes of someone else

Too shy to say that you need help
You and everybody else
You and everybody else

Chorus:
Oh, life
Passes you by
Don't waste your time
On your own
Yeah, life
Passes you by
Don't be wasting your time
On your own

Cm                        G#
As your heart gets bigger
                         D#
And you try to figure out
                   A#
What's it all about
Cm                       G#
And your skin gets thicker
                        D#
As you try to figure out
                   A#
What's it all about

Chorus:
Yeah life
Passes you by
Don't waste your time
On your own

One day it's here and then it's gone
How are you still holdin' on

How are you still holdin' on
