Key: D
Introduction:
D G D
Today I sit, singing songs and saying amen,
G D E7 A
saying goodbye to an old friend, who seemed so young,
D G D G D
well, he spent his life, working hard to chase a dollar,
G D A D
putting off until tomorrow, the things he should have done,
(Verse 2)
D
It made me stop and think,
G D
what's the hurry, why the running,
G D E7 A
I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style,
D G D G D
take my time, and not take it all for granted, cause we're,
G D A D
Only here for a little while.
D
Gonna hold who needs holding,
G D G D
mend what needs mending, walk what needs walking,
D E7 A
though it means an extra mile,
D G D
pray what needs praying, say what needs saying,
G D A D
'cause we're only here for a little while.

like it's precious as a child,

Oohh, will you take my hand,

let us reach out to each other, 'cause we're,
A E B E
Only here for a little while.
