Video lesson
No PDF chord sheet exists for this lesson
As of now, there's no printable PDF to accompany this video lesson. If you'd like to request that I make one, shoot me an email and please let me know - I am always adding back catalog lessons to my PDF library.
Here's a list of the 200+ lessons I have made PDFs for.
Capo on 1st fretβ¦
If you want to play along with the album version, toss a capo on the first fret! Note, in my video lesson Iβm not using a capo.

Lyrics with chords
VERSE
C Em D
Waiting for the time to pass you by
C Em D
Hope the winds of change will change your mind
C Em D
I could give a thousand reasons why
C Em D
And I know you... and you've got to
PRE-CHORUS
C Em D
Make it on your own, but we don't have to grow up, we can stay forever young
C Em D
Living on my sofa, drinking rum and cola, underneath the rising sun
C Em D
I could give a thousand reasons why
C Em D
But you're going... and you know that
CHORUS
C D Em D
All you have to do is stay a minute, just take your time
C D Em (D)
The clock is ticking, so stay...
C D Em D
All you have to do is wait a second, your hands on mine
C D Em (D)
The clock is ticking, so stay
BREAKDOWN
C - D - Em - D
(no lyrics, but same chords as the chorus)
And so on, and so forth.
Good luck!
