Unfinished Life

Tom: G

[Intro] G  Am7/G
        G  Am7/G
        G  Am7/G

[Primeira Parte]

G
He had everything he wanted
Dm
All his stars were lining up
C
Like an inside straight
C                  G
When you go all in on a Vegas run

G
Then one rainy night
G              Dm
While driving his Mercedes up that ladder
C                                     G
He lost control of what he thought he had
G
And his life was done

[Pré-Refrão]

Am
The preacher man said
Am   G        C                   G
Here lies the richest man in town
Am7
Maybe in heaven
Am7                 D
He'll finally find happiness he never found

[Refrão]

G
Man, it hit me like a bolt of lighting
D
Living was just passing right by me
Em                 D
Time to slow down, take a look around
C                                         D
Tomorrow can't replace what I've got right now
G
Running along at the speed of crazy
D
Blowing right past the gifts God gave me
Em                D                 C     G
Nobody gets to go around this world twice
Am                         D          G
Lord, don't let me live an unfinished life

[Ponte]

G
Sat on an old park bench
Dm
Man, I kicked off my shoes
C
Felt the grass between my toes
G
First time since I don't know when
G
Thought about the days I wasted
Dm
All the things I left unsaid
C
How that big brass ring I'd been chasin'
G
Ain't gonna matter in the end

[Segunda Parte]

Am                C          G
Just about then a kid walked up
     C
Said Mister have you got the time?
G           Am7                    Am
Smiled as I took that watch off my wrist
D
Said, "Son, you can have mine"

Running along at the speed of crazy
D
Blowing right past the gifts God gave me
Em                D                 C     G

Am                         D          G
Lord, don't let me live an unfinished life

Running along at the speed of crazy
