(C6)Twen ty (Gm7)four ho urs can (C)go so (Gm7)fast,

E ven a (Dm7)life time (G7)is n’t e nough!

(Dm7sus)Have n’t done half the (Dm)things we want to,

Oh, well,

(Dm7sus)This day was just a (Dm7sus)to ken,

(Dm7sus)Too man y words are (Dm)still un spo ken,

Oh, well,

some (C)oth er time.

(Bbm7sus)Just when the fun is (Bbm7sus)start ing,

(Bbm9)Comes the time for (Ab)part ing.

(Bbm7sus)But let’s be glad for (Am7)what we’ve (C6)had, And (D6)what’s

(Dm7sus)There’s so much more em (Dm7sus)brac ing

(Dm7sus)Still to be done, but (Dm)time is rac ing,

Oh, well,

Oh, well,
