CHORDS IN THIS SONG

Shapes with capo 4
  • D××
  • F♯m
  • Em
  • Bm×

Tap any chord in the song to see its shape. The boxes are drawn right-handed; Lefty flips them, which is how I actually play. Use − and + to move the whole song into a key that suits your voice, or tap Capo 4 to see the real chords with no capo.

Verse One

This time round I may be scared

to even think of losing something so rare

When the only game you play is solitaire

You never really win, but you never really lose

Verse Two

You can say what you like, but I've lived my life

I've done more wrong, that I've done right

I've earned what I have, I've had to strive

But this love I've found, to me that's news

Pre-Chorus

Cause I don't know what, I've done to deserve this

My day rolls fast now in perpetual bliss

Chorus

I must have wasted, all that time

that I could have spent, with another life

Trust me, on this one...

Nothing in this world is worth more

Nothing in this world is worth more

Verse Three

It seems there is so much in this world to hold on to

Frustrating, you can't grab it all

We sleep in perfect little houses

Waiting for the days to fall into place

Verse Four

Don't throw your days into the fire

There is no better time for love than today

Pick your head up and close your eyes

From now it'll never be the same

Verse Five

These are the days that the world throws to you

These are the lies that hold you down

This is the life the world shows to you

And I, just learning to leave that behind

Verse Six

What if the world you knew fell apart tomorrow?

Would you feel ok?

If you had the chance to change

Would you still be the same?

Hey I found you, could be around awhile

Ready for a night of red wine and I could use your smile

Verse Seven

What's your favorite food and what do you do

I'm already blown away so got nothing to lose

Let's break the rules and have a cigarette in the rain

Don't ask me questions till the wine hits my brain

Verse Eight

Let them look crazy at us, they know they want to too

I'll have another wine for two

Oh, the things we say

when there's no rules to play

Verse Nine

Oh, the dance we dance,

When there's no music or no steps

I pay my tab, when you step away

No need to bargain baby, I'm glad to pay

Verse Ten

If you were to leave right now where would you go

There's a little bar down the road, just so you know

Pull that radio down, and we'll sing along

I know I sound better recorded baby, but look where we are

Outro

Let them look crazy at us, they know they want to too

Let me get another beer and let's get out of here
