[Verse 1]
  CTick tock, hear the clock countdown
  GWish the minute hand could be rewound
  AmSo much to do and so much I need to Fsay
Will tomorrow be too late?
  CFeel the moment slip into the past
  GLike sand through an hourglass
  AmIn the madness I guess I just forFget
to do all the things I said
[Pre-chorus]

  CToday I'm gonna try a little harder
  GGonna make every minute last longer
  AmGonna learn to forgive and forget

[Verse 1]

Tick tock, hear the clock countdown

Wish the minute hand could be rewound

Am F

So much to do and so much I need to say

Will tomorrow be too late?

Feel the moment slip into the past

Like sand through an hourglass

Am F

In the madness I guess I just forget

to do all the things I said

[Pre-chorus]

G5 A5 F5

time passes by

never thought I'd wind up

G5 A5 F5

one step behind

now I've made my mind up

[Chorus]

Today I'm gonna try a little harder

Gonna make every minute last longer

Gonna learn to forgive and forget

cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it

Today I'm gonna love my enemies

Reach out to somebody who needs me

Make a change, make the world a better place

cause tomorrow could be one day too late

One day too late

[Verse 2]

Tick tock, hear my life pass by

I can't erase and I can't rewind

Am F

Of all the things I regret the most I do...

wish I'd spent more time with you

Here's my chance for a new beginning

I saved the best for a better ending

Am F

In the end I'll make it up to you, you'll see

You'll get the very best of me

[Pre-chorus]

G5 A5 F5

Time passes by

Never thought I'd wind up

G5 A5 F5

one step behind

now I've made my mind up

[Chorus]

Today I'm gonna try a little harder

Gonna make every minute last longer

Gonna learn to forgive and forget

cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it

Today I'm gonna love my enemies

Reach out to somebody who needs me

Make a change, make the world a better place

cause tomorrow could be one day too late

[Bridge] (this is not exactly right)

Your time is running out

You're never gonna get it back

So make the most of every moment

Stop saving your best for last

[Chorus]

Today I'm gonna try a little harder

Gonna make every minute last longer

Gonna learn to forgive and forget

cause we don't have long, gonna make the most of it

Today I'm gonna love my enemies

Reach out to somebody who needs me

Make a change, make the world a better place

F C

cause tomorrow could be one day too late

one day too late
