I'm gonna hold who needs holding,
mend what needs mending, walk what needs walking,
though it means an extra mile,
pray what needs praying, say what needs saying,
Because we're only here for a little while.
(Verse 1)
[D]Today I sit, singing [G]songs and saying [D]amen,
saying [G]goodbye to an [D]old friend, who [E7]seemed so [A]young,
well, he [D]spent [G]his [D]life, working [G]hard to chase a [D]dollar,
putting [G]off until to[D]morrow, the [A]things he should have [D]done,
(Verse 2)
[D]It made me stop and think,
what's the [G]hurry, why the [D]running,
I don't [G]like what I'm be[D]coming, gonna [E7]change my [A]style,
[D]take [G]my [D]time, and not [G]take it all for [D]granted, cause we're,
[G]Only [D]here for a [A]little [D]while.
(Chorus)
[D]Gonna hold who needs holding,
[G]mend what needs [D]mending, [G]walk what needs [D]walking,
though it [D]means an [E7]extra [A]mile,
[D]pray what needs praying, [G]say what needs [D]saying,
'cause we're [G]only [D]here for a [A]little w[D]hile.
(Verse 3)...Chord Change
Let me [E]love, like I'll [A]never see to[E]morrow,
treat each [A]day as though it's [E]borrowed,
like it's [F#7]precious as a [B]child,
Oohh, will you [E]take [A]my [E]hand,
let us [A]reach out to each [E]other, 'cause we're,
[A]Only [E]here for a [B]little w[E]hile.
(Chorus)
[E]Gonna hold who needs holding,
[A]mend what needs [E]mending, [A]walk what needs [E]walking,
though it [E]means an [F#7]extra [B]mile,
[E]pray what needs praying, [A]say what needs [E]saying,
'cause we're [A]only [E]here for a [B]little w[E]hile.
