Chorus:
            C#               F#     C# F#/C# C#
Well don't spend your life chasing gold
        D#m7                  G#7
For you only buy what you get sold
        D#m7               C#/F F#
And you only have what you can hold
          C#               F#     C# C#sus4 C#
So don't spend your life chasing gold

      C#                      F#     C#  F#/C# C#
Don't live your years with a worried mind
     D#m7                         G#7
Over what you'll lose or leave behind
        D#m7                C#/FF#
For you only keep what you can find
          C#                     F#       C# F#/C# C#
Don't you live your years with a worried mind

Don't spend your days with a troubled soul
Filling voids and plugging holes
Let go of what you can't control
Don't you spend your days with a troubled soul

G#                                F#           C#
For there's no sense, there's no rhyme and no reason
   A#m                         Fm
To worry 'bout the future and dwell upon the past
D#m7                     A#m
Live every day of every month of every season
Fm                            G#sus2 G#
And every moment like your last Yeah

      C#                     F#     C#
Don't walk your road with a heavy heart
   D#m7                           G#7
Or lose your light out in the dark
    D#m7                C#/F  F#
For every day's a brand new start
