[Verse 1]
[G]Another turning point, a [Cadd9]fork stuck in the [D]road
[G]Time grabs you by the wrist, [Cadd9]directs you where to [D]go
[Em]So make the [D]best of this [C]test, and don’t ask [G]why
[Em]It’s not a [D]question, but a [C]lesson learned in [G]time
[Chorus]
[Em]It’s something unpredic[G]table, but in [Em]the end its [G]right
[Em]I hope you had the [D]time of your [G]life

[G]So take the photographs and [Cadd9]still frames in your [D]mind
[G]Hang it on a shelf in [Cadd9]good health and good [D]time
[Em]Tattoos of [D]memories, and [C]dead skin on [G]trial
[Em]For what it’s [D]worth, it was [C]worth all the [G]while
[Chorus]
[Em]It’s something unpredic[G]table, but in [Em]the end is [G]right
[Em]I hope you had the [D]time of your [G]life
