D          G               D
All of my life, I've been searching
         Em                 Am7
For the words to say how I feel.
      G             D
I'd spend my time thinking too much
               Em                   Am7
And leave too little to say what I mean
       G                      D
I've tried to understand the best I can
           G
All of my life.

All of my life, I've been saying sorry
For the things I know I should have done
All the things I could have said come back to me
Sometimes I wish that it had just begun
Seems I'm always that little too late
All of my life

Chorus:
F       C         G
Set 'em up, I'll take a drink with you
F           C        G
Pull up a chair, I think I'll stay
F       C       G
Set 'em up, cos I'm going nowhere
        Am7                  Bm7                  C
There's too much I need to remember, and there's too
much I need to say

All of my life, I've been looking
But it's hard to find the way
Just reaching past the goal in front of me
While what's important just slips away
And it doesn't come back, but I'll be looking
All of my life

Chorus

All of my life, there have been regrets
That I didn't do all I could
Playing records upstairs, while he watched TV
I didn't spend the time I should
And that's a memory I will live with
All of my life
