Kevin Gill - A Useful Way To Pass Time Cifras

[Verse 1]
D                               Bm
You had your chance, you had your chance
                    G
Maybe next time you won't leave yourself lying on the floor
                A
You'll pick yourself back up and walk back through that door
D                            Bm
Maybe someday someone will be there to help you
                     G
Maybe someday that someone will be you
                A
Because of the thinking that you do
D                              Bm
Don't obey those third person passages
                     G
The narrator doesn't always know the story
                          A
Picking and choosing the characters she's ignoring
D                                 Bm
From front to back, from cover to cover
                             G
Let us know when a plot is discovered
                                    A
One more twist and you're gonna lose another
 
[Chorus]
G              A
You write your book and I'll write mine
D                   G
We could sit here together in the meantime
G                      A
Hoping one of us would find
 
[Verse 2]
D                                        Bm
The last time you looked you only took a glance
                    G
You were hoping the mirror would tell the whole story
              A
But that's an image that you've been distorting
D                                        Bm
So clean up your mess and stop collecting so much trash
          G
There's a limit to what one can keep
          A
And your pockets they're not quite that deep
 
[Chorus]
G              A
You write your book and I'll write mine
D                   G
We could sit here together in the meantime
G                      A
Hoping one of us would find
G                        A
A useful way to pass our time
G                      A
Wishing we could hit rewind

[Bridge]
D7
Put your pencils down
G13
Get a clean sheet of paper out
D7
And start to think about
G13
If your story is like the life you dreamed about
D7
Erase what you can while you can
G13
Rewrite what you can while you can
D7
Erase what you can while you can
G13
Rewrite what you can while you can
 
[Chorus]
G              A
You write your book and I'll write mine
D                   G
We could sit here together in the meantime
G                      A
Hoping one of us would find
G                        A
A useful way to pass our time
G                      A
Wishing we could hit rewind
