Verse 1 (Fingerpicking)
| [G] Another | turning point, a | [Cadd9] fork stuck in the | [D] road, |
| [G] Time grabs you | by the wrist, di- | [Cadd9] rects you where to | [D] go |
| [Em] So make the | [D] best of this | [C] test and don't ask | [G] why |
| [Em] It's not a | [D] question but a | [C] lesson learned in | [G] time
Chorus
(Begin Strumming)
It's | [Em] something unpre- | [G] dictable but | [Em] in the end it's | [G] right
I | [Em] hope you had the | [D] time of your | [G] life. | [G] | [Cadd9] | [D] |
| [G] | [G] | [Cadd9] | [D] |
Verse 2
| [G] So take the photographs and | [Cadd9] still frames in your | [D] mind
| [G] Hang it on a shelf, in | [Cadd9] good health and good | [D] time
| [Em] Tattoos of | [D] memories and | [C] dead skin on | [G] trial
| [Em] For what it's | [D] worth it was | [C] worth all the | [G] while
