Verse 1
C                                         Am             C    
I’ve been tryin’ to make a living, but I haven’t got a life
G                                      Am                 C
Chasing dreams with tunnel vision, I’m running out of time
G                          
Somewhere I lost what I’ve been missing
  Am                
I look but never find
        D
I never find

Verse 2
C       
Stopped long enough to pray for wisdom 
       Am            C    
And I waited for an answer
        G         
Opened up my heart to listen 
Am              C
What is it I’m here for
            G      
And in the noise of all my questions
   Am
I finally heard a whisper 
               F
A still, small whisper

Chorus
G     D           Em
Don’t waste your life 
         G                      C      
Wishing, hoping, waiting for a better day
G                  Am           D
You know that would be a shame
G       Bm        Em
Shine, shine your light
        G                       C             G
Bigger, brighter, for the whole world to see
               Gm        Am
Play your part in history
                 G
Don’t waste your life

Verse 3
C       D               Em
So I’m making this my mission
     Am   G       C      
I’ve made up my mind
     D                Em
Even I can make a difference 
     D     G    C
One story at a time
        G               Em
When I forget what I’ve been given
Am     G      Am
I can always find
         Bm        F
A lesson in these lines—

Bridge:
G
In every choice that you make and every chance that you take
      F            G
Don’t waste your life
G
In every prayer that you pray and every “I love you” that you say\
     F           G
Don’t waste your life
G
And when you find yourself afraid, 
                               Cm
Just repeat this simple phrase
