Lyrics

Sixty Seconds

It goes by in a blink. G
Time is ticking away. C
The things that really matter. D
This might be the day. G

If you had to choose. G
What you wanted most C
Could you do it. D
Would you know. G

Sixty seconds. C
One minute to decide. G
What you really care about. D
What makes a life. G
I don't need a thing. C
I know what I would do. G
With my sixty seconds. Am D
I'd pick you. G

Stuff gets old. G
New just fades away C
All the money in the world. D
Can't buy another day. G

I look around. G
And all I see. C
False promises. D
And paper dreams G

I'm no thief. F
But I would steal. E over C
And give it all away. F
For the way you make me feel G
