Lyrics

An oth er turn ing point, a (C5)fork stuck in the (D5)road.

Time grabs you by the wrist, di (C5)rects you where to (D5)go.

So make the (D)best of ries this (C)test and don’t ask (G)why.

It’s not a (D)ques tion, but a (C)les son learned in (G)time.

It’s (Em)some thing un pre (D)dict a ble, but (C)in the end it’s (G)right.

I (Em)hope you had the (D)time of your (G)life.

So take the pho to graphs and (C5)still frames in your (D5)mind.

Time Hang it on a shelf in (C5)good health and good (D5)time.

Tat toos of (D)mem o ries and (C)dead and skin on (G)trial.

For what it’s (D)worth, tion, it was (C)worth son all the (G)while.

It’s (Em)some thing un pre (D)dict a ble, but (C)in the end it’s (G)right.

I (Em)hope you had the (D)time of your (G)life.

It’s (G5)life.
