D
     And there'll come a time
A/C#                       G
     when the hand holding mine
G          D
may become calloused
              A/C#
or may become careless
                 G
or weathered and wise


[verse 2]
D               A
  nothing hurts much,
                   G
much more than the way,
            D
Everything grows,
               A
Then everyone goes,
              Bm
And all of us fade


[chorus]
Em                     D
   And some days don't feel right
        Bm    A
and you won't know why
Em                    D
   And some years you won't
                      Bm
hold as dear to your heart
       A       Em
As the ones to arise
                D                  Bm
So don't let it wait, don't let it wait
             A7
Don't let it wait til the next time

[verse 3]
D                          A/C#
   And the boys drew their hearts
                        Bm
drew their hearts on my hands
                  D
and I closed them tight
              A/C#
For fear that I might
                Bm
not hold what I have

[verse 4]
D            A/C#            Bm
  We are all kites held by a string
                 D
who long for the sky
                       A/C#
But don't get yourself high
               Bm
not tied to a thing

[chorus]
Em                     D
   And some days don't feel right
        Bm    A
and you won't know why
Em                    D
   And some years you won't
                      Bm
hold as dear to your heart
       A       Em
As the ones to arise
                D                  Bm
So don't let it wait, don't let it wait
             A7
Don't let it wait til the next time
