Intro (0:00)

Verse 1 (0:15)
G Cadd9 D
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
G Cadd9 D
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
Em D Cadd9 G
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
Em D Cadd9 G
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
Em D G Cadd9 D G Cadd9 D
I hope you had the time of your life

Verse 2 (0:52)
G Cadd9 D
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
G Cadd9 D
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Em D Cadd9 G
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
Em D Cadd9 G
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable but in the end is right
Em D G Cadd9 D
I hope you had the time of your life
