[D]Today I stood singin' [G]songs and sayin' [D]Amen
[D]Saying [G]goodbye to an [D]old friend who [E7]seemed so [A7]young
[A7]Well he [D]spent [G]his [D]life workin' [G]hard to chase the [D]dollar
[D]Putting [G]off until [D]tomorrow the [A]things he should have [D]done
[D]It made me stop and think "What's the [G]hurry, why the [D]runnin'?
[D]I don't [G]like what I'm [D]becoming, gonna [E7]change my [A7]style
[D]Take [G]my [D]time and I [G]take it all for [D]granted"
[D]Cause we're [G]only [D]here for a [A7]little [D]while
