Tom: B
G#m C#m
[Verse 1]
G#m
All your life, scramble and scurry
G#m
Take your time, rather than hurry
C#m
Never too late to write the best of your story
C#m
Remember to breathe or else you're gonna be sorry
G#m
Life's no race, it's a companion
G#m
Always face with reckless abandon
C#m
The ticket to life as my mother once told me
C#m
Stick with your pride and you're gonna be lonely (gonna be lonely)
[Chorus 1]
B F# G#m
Everybody says that life takes patience
E B
But nobody wants to wait
F# G#m
Everybody says we need salvation
E B
But nobody wants to be saved
F# G#m E B
The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train
F# G#m E B
The blue skies we wait on are gonna have to come after the rain
[Verse 2]
G#m
Spend your days happy and grateful
G#m
Avoid the taste of wanting and wasteful
C#m
Every good thing will come in moderation
C#m
Envy and greed will only lead to frustration
G#m
Choose your friends, carefree and kindly
G#m
Choose your words, careful and wisely
C#m
Always be there to lend a comforting shoulder
C#m
One will be there to share a day when you're older (a day when you're older)
[Chorus 2]
B F# G#m
Everybody says that life takes patience
E B
But nobody wants to wait
F# G#m
Everybody says we need salvation

But nobody wants to be saved

The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train
F# G#m E B
The blue skies we wait on are gonna have to come after the rain
[Bridge]
B F#
All mistakes, committed upon us
G#m E
Always take a toll on the conscience

Every regret is a debt that you live with
G#m E
Never forget to remember forgiveness
[Chorus 3]

Everybody says that life takes patience
