INTRO: G  D  G  D  

       C                 G
Am I a fool at this late date
          D                    G          D
To heed a voice that says that you can be great
           C                     G
I heard it young, now I hear it again
          C          G           C           D
It says, "You can be better than you've ever been"


CHORUS:
              C                    G
Don't want to waste what I have to give
              D                      G
In all of the time that I've left to live
              C                    G
Don't want to waste what I have to give
              D                  G
In any of the time that I've got left
         C                     G
I can do more than I thought I could
            D                          G
Work brings more luck than knocking on wood
               C              G
There's random bad and random good
            D                    C    G   D
Work brings more good luck, good luck
     C     G   D  
Good luck


N.C.         C                          G
They ask the world, and the world says, no
                   D      G          D
It's the world's refrain, mine says, go
            C                          G
You ask the world, and the world says, no
                    D     C           G 
It's an old world refrain, mine says, go


CHORUS:
              C                    G
Don't want to waste what I have to give
              D                      G
In all of the time that I've left to live
              C                    G
Don't want to waste what I have to give
              D             G
In any of the time I've got left
         C                     G
I can do more than I thought I could
            D                          G
Work brings more luck than knocking on wood
               C              G
There's random bad and random good
            D                    C    G   D    C   G   D    
Work brings more good luck, good luck


N.C.      C                       G
Better be off, I've got dreams to dream
                  D   G      C        D
Though it seems uphill and a little extreme
              C                   G
If I can find hope in this fading light
               D  C              G 
Then I'll find you on the Morningside
              C                   G
If I can find hope in this fading light
               D  C              G 
Then I'll find you on the Morningside


CHORUS:
              C                    G
Don't want to waste what I have to give
              D                      G
In all of the time that I've left to live
              C                    G
Don't want to waste what I have to give
              D             G
In any of the time I've got left
         C                     G
I can do more than I thought I could
            D                          G
Work brings more luck than knocking on wood
               C              G
There's random bad and random good
            D                    C    G     D
Work brings more good luck, good luck
     C    G  D    C  G  D    C G D   G
Good luck
