[Intro]
 So Ddon't go wastin' your Cadd9time, Holding on to your Glife
[Verse 1]
 There are Dtreasures that I have possessed, GMeant the Dworld to me
 GBut they Dnever fill the emptiness, Cadd9I needed something Gmore than theseG  
 In the Dmiddle of my wilderness, GGod reached Ddown to me
 GWhen I Dlet go to His tenderness,
 Cadd9I found His love was Emmore than I ever Dsus4dreamed
[Chorus]
 So don't go wastin' your Em7time, Holding on to your Glife
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dline
 Gotta make up your Cadd9mind, There can be no more Gcompromise
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dline
[Verse 2]
 DIt's a matter of surrendering, GEvery Dhidden fear
 GAnd by Dletting go of everything, Cadd9Jesus will meet you GthereG  
 DIn the heart of everyone of us, GThere's a Dcall to faith
 GEven Dthough we'll never measure up
 Cadd9That's why the Savior, Gthat's why the Savior Dsus4came
[Chorus]
 So don't go wastin' your Em7time, Holding on to your Glife
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dline
 Gotta make up your Cadd9mind, There can be no more Gcompromise
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dline
[Chorus]
 So don't go wastin' your Em7time, Holding on to your Glife
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dline
 Gotta make up your Cadd9mind, There can be no more Gcompromise
[Bridge]
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dmline
 Gone are the Cadd9days of holding Gon
 This is the Ftime to surrenderDm  
 Now is the Cadd9moment you've got to Glet it go
 Just Dmlet go, just Cmajlet go, Gjust let it go now
[Chorus]
 DSo don't go wastin' your Em7time, Holding on to your Glife
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dline
 Gotta make up your Cadd9mind, There can be no more Gcompromise
 DmJust lay it Cmajall on the Dline
