(The above line gets played twice, then this twice,
and that's the verse.)
G C9 Dsus4 G
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
G C9 Dsus4 G
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
Em Dsus4 C9 G
So make the best of these days and don't ask why
Em Dsus4 C9 G
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time

(Okay, now, it's important that you go straight back into the
opening G of the verse, because the Dsus4 sort of leaves you
hanging there. Then play the first half of the verse once
through, then start it all over again.)

It's something unpredictable in the end it's right

I hope you have the time of your life.

Verse 2:
G C9 Dsus4 G
So take the photographs and stillframes in your mind
G C9 Dsus4 G

Tatoos and memories and asking on trial
Em Dsus4 C9 G
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
