Life Is Short

G
It’s been coming for me
D
I’ve been waiting for it
C                                        D
Things have gone just a little bit too fast
G                  D                         C                        D
And everybody knows enough is enough
G
And I’ve been thinking on it
D
I’ve been drinking on it
C                                        D
I’ve let my reasons and excuses soak in to my bones
G                  D                         C                        D
But I don’t feel like I want to give up


[Pre-Chorus]

G                               D                           C                               
So will I sit here waiting for the sunshine to ease my pain
     D

G                               D                           C                               
Working on nothing, just wasting my time away
     D

G                               D                           C                               
Will I settle for the world and the memories that I’ve made
     D

G                               D                           C                               
Or will I listen to my heart and open my eyes for a change
     D



[Chorus]

G                                      D
Life is just a little too short
G                                      C
To really even worry at all
G
Our plans and our schemes
D
Often turn into dreams
C                                                            D
Won’t you tell me what you’re waiting for

G                                      D
Life is just a little too short
G                                      C
To really even worry at all
G
We hope and we strive
D
We’re so busy with our lives
C                                                            D
We forget what we’re here for


[Verse]

G
So I stop for a second and take a look around
D
Take in all the visuals, the smells and the sounds
C                                        D
Try to see the beauty in the birds and the bees
G                  D                         C                        D
But the shadow of my will is hanging over me

G
And I, I’ve been keeping busy
D
I’ve been getting dizzy
C                                        D
I’ve been focusing my energy on nothing really
G                  D                         C                        D
And what’s a good book when you can’t read at all


[Pre-Chorus]

G                               D                           C                               
So will I sit here waiting for the sunshine to ease my pain
     D

G                               D                           C                               
Working on nothing, just wasting my time away
     D

G                               D                           C                               
Will I settle for the world and the memories that I’ve made
     D

G                               D                           C                               
Or will I listen to my heart and open my eyes for a change
     D



[Chorus]

G                                      D
Life is just a little too short
G                                      C
To really even worry at all
G
Our plans and our schemes
D
Often turn into dreams
C                                                            D
Won’t you tell me what you’re waiting for

G                                      D
Life is just a little too short
G                                      C
To really even worry at all
G
We hope and we strive
D
We’re so busy with our lives
C                                                            D
We forget what we’re here for


[Bridge]

Bm7                                                                      Am7
And it’s all fun and games until yesterday turns you into a world class fool
There’s nobody to blame yourself

Bm7                                                                                     Am7
Get your hands out your pockets and your eyes on the prize if you really want to get it done
C                              D
Just be true to yourself


[Chorus]

G                                      D
Life is just a little too short
G                                      C
To really even worry at all
G
Our plans and our schemes
D
Often turn into dreams
C                                                            D
Won’t you tell me what you’re waiting for

G                                      D
Life is just a little too short
G                                      C
To really even worry at all
G
We hope and we strive
D
We’re so busy with our lives
C                                                            D
We forget what we’re here for
