[Verse 1]

D              Bm   D                      Bm
As I wake up alone, after years of playing musical homes
     F#m                          G
I am not really sure, 'cause it's all such a blur
      D                         A
But I think I'll be home in the fall
D                          Bm
And as my friends live and breathe
D                           Bm
It seems they're doing just fine without me
         F#m                       G
'Cause I walk like a ghost without what meant the most to me
D                    A
Back before I had it all


[Chorus]

         G                    A
And it's minutes to hours and hours to days
     D                       Bm
It's cradles then taxes then caskets then graves
    G                            A
But you've got your own world to burn -
               D                  D
Don't wait for me, don't wait for me


[Verse 2]

D                   Bm
And I was feeling alright
D                       Bm
It was just me and Jack Daniel's tonight
      F#m             G
And I appreciated his company the same
   D                   A
It reminded me of Tennessee


[Chorus]

         G                    A
And it's minutes to hours and hours to days
     D                       Bm
It's cradles then taxes then caskets then graves
   G                           A
On these city streets we can't stop for a while
        D                        Bm
We just live out our lives every mile after mile
    G                            A
But you've got your own world to burn -
               D                  D
Don't wait for me, don't wait for me
               Bm                 B
Don't wait for me


[Verse 3]

    D                      F#m
I'd fly to your arms if only I can move
    D                           F#m
And I'd find a way through the turbulent sky
       D          Bm               F#m
'Cause I know and you know there's nothing to prove
     D                       A
This distance ain't only in miles


[Chorus]

         G                    A
And it's minutes to hours and hours to days
     D                       Bm
It's cradles then taxes then caskets then graves
   G                           A
On these city streets we can't stop for a while
        D                        Bm
We just live out our lives every mile after mile
    G                            A
But you've got your own world to burn -
               D                  D
Don't wait for me, don't wait for me
               D                  D
Don't wait for me, don't wait for me

D                       Bm
So I guess this is the dream
D                        A
But no one said it'd be such a machine
