B   F#  G#m
My head, my head is full of
C#m         E              F#
Things that I should have done
B   F#  G#m
My heart, my heart is heavy
C#m     E             F#
And it sinks like a stone

         B                              F#
She said, is this the life you've been dreaming of?
         G#m
Spending half of it away from the things you love
         C#m          E           F#
It's not too late to do something new
         B                            F#
She said, it's hard enough trying to live your life
    G#m
Not following your dreams leaves you dead inside
C#m           E            F#
If you don't love what you do
F#
It's not right, it's not right for you

Chorus:
B  F# G#m
Oh-oh-oh
If you even have to think about it
   C#m E      F#
o-o-oh oh-o-o-oh
It's not right, it's not right for you
B  F# G#m
Oh-oh-oh
If you really have to think about it
   C#m E      F#
o-o-oh oh-o-o-oh
You got one life to love what you do

My hands, my hands are scarred by
Things I shouldn't have done
My feet, my feet are weary
From all the miles that I've run

She said, "open your mind take a look within
Are you happy with the world that you're living in?
If not, you gotta change what you do"
She said, "and lately I don't see you smile a lot
Are you happy here with me and the things we've got?
If you can't say that it's true

Chorus

E
If we don't do something now, then
G#m
We'll never know
B
If we stay here too long then we'll
F#
We'll never grow old
E
So before it's too late and it's
G#m
killing you, yeah
B
We've only one life to live
F#
So love what you do

Chorus

In the end, in the end
Better hold cause you're take it all in
In the end, in the end
You got one life to love what you do
In the end, in the end
Better hold cause you're take it all in
In the end, in the end
You got one life to love what you do
