Only Here For A Little While

D

[Verse 1]
  D                   G                D
Today I stood singin' songs and sayin' Amen
D      G             D              E7        A7
Saying goodbye to an old friend who seemed so young
A7      D     G   D            G                 D
Well he spent his life workin' hard to chase the dollar
D       G           D          A                     D
Putting off until tomorrow the things he should have done

D                                     G              D
It made me stop and think "What's the hurry, why the runnin'?
D       G               D             E7        A7
I don't like what I'm becoming, gonna change my style
D    G  D          G               D
Take my time and I take it all for granted"
D           G    D          A7     D
Cause we're only here for a little while


[Chorus]
          D
I'm gonna hold who needs holdin'
G               D
Mend what needs mendin'
G               D
Walk what needs walkin'
D         E7             A7
Though it means an extra mile
D
Pray what needs prayin'
G              D
Say what needs sayin'
D           G    D          A7      D
Cause we're only here for a little while

E                     A           E

E         F#7            B7
Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayin'
A              E
Say what needs sayin'
E           A    E          B7     E
Cause we're only here for a little while

Though it means an extra mile

Pray what needs prayin'
