          |Dadd9   |Dadd9      |Gmaj7          |Gmaj7   G/F#   |
How do you know,      if it was worth it in the end?

A movie night, a yellow light, you’re slowing down and days are adding up

                  |D       |Gmaj7           |A6     |D          D/C#   |
So don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass, it’s only a

       |Em                |Em          |A6               |A     |
For the sake of some small gain, in the sake of someone's name
        |Dadd9   |Dadd9   |Gmaj7           |Gmaj7   G/F#   |
I'm unprepared,     for my loved ones to be gone
        |Em           |Em        |A6                |A   |
Call 'em way too often now, worry way too much about mom

    |Bm         Bm/A                   |G    |
It's family and friends, and that's the truth
   |Bm               Bm/A              |G    D/F#   |
The fountain doesn't give you back your youth
