C Am Em D




♫ Verse 1:
C                      Am
 If you could see your seconds in an hourglass
Em                    D
 If you could see the minutes of a life you had
C                 Am
 Would you run and would you try
Em              D
 To win it back?
C                 Am
 If you can see a future in a photograph
Em                   D
 If you could see the light that you wish you had
C                   Am
 Could you be strong and carry on
Em                  D
 With what you have?

A
 Why we wasting life?
A
 Should be chasing life


♫ Chorus:
Bm                                    G
 If we're breathing for the very last time
                            D
I don't wanna hold onto goodbyes
                      A
If there's no tomorrow
                           Bm
You better make it last tonight
                                      G
If we're standing when the walls come down
                           D
If we make it to the final round
                      A
If we're here tomorrow
                                      Em
We'll live it better than we did last night

C Am Em D


♫ Verse 2:
C                    Am
 If you werе on your knees, would you take a stand?
Em              D
 If you were in deep, would you takе my hand?
C             Am
 Could you lie and lose your pride
Em            D
 To live again?
C                  Am
 If you could wake up and see through yourself
Em                D
 Could you find a room to blame someone else?
C                Am
 Could you change in just a day
Em               D
 And cry for help?
