A#
One of these days you'll be
Cm
under the covers you'll be
Gm                          F
under the table and you'll realize
A#
all of your days are numbered;
Cm
all of them one to one hundred.
Gm
All of them millions.
F
All of them trillions.

    D#                             F
So what are you gonna do with them all?
     D#                       F
You cannot trade them in for more. (no no)

Chorus:
 A#                     Gm
Take every moment you know that you own them.
    D#              F                        A# Cm F
I’s all you can do, use whats been given to you.

Give me a reason
To fight the feeling
That there's nothing here for me
'Cause none of it's easy
I know it wasn't meant to be
I know it's all up to me
It's all up to me
So what am I gonna do with my time?
Oh-oh-oh

Chorus:
I'll take every moment
I know that I own them
It's all up to you
To do whatever you choose

Live like you're dying
And never stop trying
It's all you can do
Use what's been given to you

Cm                      F
All of the moments you didnt notice;
A#                       D#
gone in the blink of an eye.
    Cm                       F
And all of the feelings you can't help feeling
    D#              F
no matter how you try. (oh oh)

Chorus:
Take every moment
You know that you own them
It's all you can do
Use what's been given to you

Live like you're dying
And never stop trying
It's all you can do
Use what's been given to you

Live like you're dying
And never stop trying
It's all up to you
Use what's been given to you

Oh oh
