Seize The Day

D   G   C   D

[Verse 1]
G                    C           
I know a girl who was schooled in
      D
 Manhattan
G                 C              
She reads dusty books and learns 
           D
phrases in latin
G                       C       D
She is an author, or maybe a poet
B7         Em                  C
A genius but it’s just this 
                D
world doesn’t know it
C                   G
She works on her novel most every 
day
C         G             A  D
If you laugh she will say

[Chorus]
G             Em7     Asus4       D
Seize the day seize whatever you can
G                C               
Because life slips away just like
    Em7      D
 hourglass sand
G              Em7               
Seize the day pray for grace from
   C    D
 God‘s hand
        C           G            D
Then nothing will stand in your way
        G
Seize the day
Em7               G              
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
     D    G
lie-dee-di-dee-di da-die
Em                 G             
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
    D     G
lie-dee-di-dee-di  da-die

[Verse 2]
G                  C             
Well I know what doctor fine 
     D
young physician
G                            C   
Left a six-figure job for a 
         D
mission position
 G               Em              
He’s healing the sick in an 
C       D
African clinic
B7               Em               
He works in the dirt and writes 
 C            D
home to the cynics

C           G                  C
He says we work through the 
              D
night so most everyday
C                               A
As we watch the sunrise we can say

[Chorus]
G               Em7     D        
Seize the day seize whatever you 
Dsus4
can
G               C                
Because life slips away just like
             D
 hourglass sand
G              Em7               
Seize the day pray for grace from
   C     D
 God‘s hand
        C            G           D
Then nothing will stand in your way
        G
Seize the day
Em7                               
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
D     G
lie-dee-di-dee-di da-die
Em                                
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
D     G
lei-dee-di-dee-di  da-die

[Verse 3]
G                         C      
Well I know a man who’s been 
         D
doing some thinking
G                              C 
He’s bitter and cold as the 
             D
whiskey he’s drinking
G                   Em7        C
He’s talking about fear and 
          D
chances not taken
B7                Em             
If you listen to him you can hear
   G            D
 his heartbreaking
         C               G        
He says one day you’re a boy and 
    C                G
the next day you’re dead
         C        G            
I wish way back when someone had 
     A
said

[Chorus]
G               Em7     D        
Seize the day seize whatever you 
 Dsus4
can
G              C                 
Because life slips away just like
              D
 hourglass sand
G              Em7               
Seize the day pray for grace from
   C     D
 God‘s hand
       C            G            D
Then nothing will stand in your way
        G
Seize the day
Em7                              
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
D    G
lie-dee-di-dee-di da-die
Em                                
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
D     G
lei-dee-di-dee-di  da-die

[Verse 4]
       G             C            
one thing I’ve noticed whenever I 
  D
wander
G                  Em          C
Everyone’s got a dream he can 
            D
follow or squander
G                          C     
You can do what you will with the
                 D
 days you were given
B7                     Em    
I’m trying to spend mine on the 
        C          D
business of living
     C              G           C
So I’m singing my songs off of 
         G
any old stage
C                           G    
You can laugh if you want I’ll 
      A
still stay

[Chorus]
G              Em7         D     
Seize the day seize whatever you 
 Dsus4
can
G               C                
because life slips away just like
             D
 hourglass sand
G               Em7              
Seize the day pray for grace from
   C     D
 God’s hand
        C           G            D
Then nothing will stand in your way
       G
Seize the day
Em7                               
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
   D    G
lie-dee-di-dee-di da-die
Em                                
Lie-dee-di-dee-di 
   D     G
lei-dee-di-dee-di  da-die
