[Verse 1]
E5                     B
One day its here and then its gone
                            A
How are you still holding on
                            E
How are you still holding on
E5                        B
You've felt this way for far too long
                            A
Waiting for a change to come
                              E
You know you're not the only one
[Chorus]
  A*             E
Life passes you by
                       A*
Don't be wasting your time
         E
On your own
[Verse 2]
E5                B
You always try to see yourself
                              A
Through the eyes of someone else
                              E
Through the eyes of someone else
E5                     B
Too shy to say that you need help
                    A
You and everybody else
                    E
You and everybody else
[Chorus]
E5 A*              E
Life passes you by
                       A*
Don't be wasting your time
         E
On your own
[Bridge]
C#m                       A
As your heart gets bigger
                        E
And you try to figure out
                  B
What's it all about
C#m                      A
And your skin gets thicker
                       E
As you try to figure out
                  B
What's it all about
[Instrumental]
E5   B  A  E
[Chorus]
E5 A*              E
Life passes you by
                       A*
Don't be wasting your time
         E
On your own
E5                    B
One day its here and then its gone
                            A
How are you still holding on
                           E  Esus4 E
How are you still holding on
