[Intro]
 E   D   D   A(x2)
[Verse]
ELaying by a Dstream, Awatching the years drift Eby.
ELiving in a Ddream. NAothing’s even worth a Etry.
EIdling the time aDway, Atrying to get the hours to Epass.
EJust to get to the next Dday to Afind that it’s just like the Elast.
[Chorus]
EIs there something B7I should be doing to make my Elife worthwhile?
EAm I really B7bothered if my life’s Enot worthwhile?
[Verse]
EWaking when I’m in the Dmood. AJust can’t struggle out of Ebed.
ENot that it’d do much Dgood, coz in a Ahundred years we’ll all be Edead.
[Chorus]
EIs there something B7I should be doing to make my Elife worthwhile?
EAm I really B7bothered if my life’s Enot worthwhile?
[Bridge]
CBut life’s too Dmshort, Gthere’s never Clong
AmEnjoy the Dmnow, coz the Gsoon may never Ccome
CLife’s too Dmshort and it Gmay just pass you Cby,
AmSo just sit Dmback and Genjoy the Cride.
