Capo 2nd Fret
[Verse 1]
D A
I turned on the evening news
G A
Saw a old man being interviewed
D A G
Turning a hundred and two today
D A
Asked him what's the secret to life
G A
He looked up from his old pipe
D A G
Laughed and said "All I can say is."
[Chorus]
D
Don't blink
A G A
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
D A
Wake up and you're twenty-five and
G A
your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
D
Don't blink
A G A
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
D A G A
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Em D
Of fifty years is there in bed
G D
And you're praying God takes you instead
Em A
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
D A G A
So don't blink
[Verse 2]
D A G A
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
D A G A
"Best start putting first things first."
D A
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
G A
You can't flip it over and start again
D A G
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth
[Chorus]
D
Don't Blink
A G A
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
D A
Wake up and you're twenty-five and
G A
your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
D
Don't blink
A G A
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
D A G A
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Em D
Of fifty years is there in bed
G D
And you're praying God takes you instead
Em A
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
D A G A
So don't blink
[Guitar Solo]
[Refrain]
Em
So I've been tryin' ta slow it down
D
I've been tryin' ta take it in
G A
In this here today, gone tomorrow world we're livin' in
[Chorus]
D
Don't Blink
A G A
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
D A
Wake up and you're twenty-five and
G A
your high school sweetheart becomes your wife
D
Don't blink
A G A
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
D A G A
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
Em D
Of fifty years is there in bed
G D
And you're praying God takes you instead
Em A
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
D A G A
So don't blink
