Intro:

C/E  F  Am  G

Verse 1:

C/E          F
Everybody's got a balance
    Am            G
But no one knows how much
C/E                F
There's no way to run the numbers
   Am              G
No way to count it up
            C/E              F
And we're pouring out our fortunes
                        Am            G
In the moments both the big and the small
          Dm
Yeah, we gotta spend it all

Chorus:

       F            C
All I have is what You gave
            G         Am
Watching seconds turn to days
       F                  C                G  Am
I was made for more than just to watch it fly
             F             C
A few more turns around the sun
            G            Am
Could be hundreds could be one
         F                  C            G
Show me how to spend the treasure of my time
                           F  C     G  Am
Show me how to spend a life,    yeah
                            F  C    G
Show me how to spend a life,     oh


Verse 2:

C/E           F
I have never seen a tombstone
         Am           G
Say "I didn't work enough"
  C/E                 F
Nobody ever heard a father say
    Am             G
"I held my kids too much"
       C/E        F
God I wanna run after what really matters
     Am              G
So remind me when I fall
       Dm
How a good man spends it all


Chorus:

       F            C
All I have is what You gave
            G          Am
Watching seconds turn to days
       F                 C                 G  Am
I was made for more than just to watch it fly
             F            C
A few more turns around the sun
            G            Am
Could be hundreds could be one
         F              C                G
Show me how to spend the treasure of my time
                            F  C     G  Am
