Intro
Am C Dm G E7
[Verse 1]
Am C
All my friends they rise for work each day,
Dm G E7
they take the mornin' train, never running late.
Am C
Staring at the their screens they fade away,
Dm G E7
they take a coffee break just to stay awake.
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
Don't you know there's more to life
E7 F E7
than working all the time as the evenings fade.
[Chorus]
Am C
People say we're wasting all our time,
Dm
searching for things we weren't meant to find
Em G E7
but that's all we have, so I don't mind.
Am C
People say we'll lose a future sum
Dm
for living life while we are young.
Em G E7
Well, it's nice to say I'm the happy one.
[Verse 2]
Am C
Father told me, son, don't make mistakes
Dm G E7
that I have made back in my day.
Am C
But as I look upon his wearied face
Dm G E7
it speaks of all the places that he never stayed.
[Pre-Chorus]
F C
Don't you know there's more to life
E7 F E7
than working all the time as the evenings fade.
[Chorus]

People say we're wasting all our time,
