Lyrics
Background:
Living a life which if compressed into a 7 minute film, will be life full of ‘no regrets’
Am. Am G F
Blinding lights
F G. Am
Will you see it clearly
Am Am G F
It’s in flashback
F G. Am
Scenes (are) no longer blurry
F. G
Will you thank for the day
F G
And be satisfied ?
F G
On your judgement day
F G
Will happiness be by your side
Am
Seven minutes
Am
(Will) Defines it all
When I was young
I did as I was told
(Then) Life upturned
Was like never before
( I ) Shelved my passion by the side
Jumped on a crazy crazy ride
Along the way my dreams got sold
While I was chasing pots of gold
But in the end
Thats all I got
Have/ For those seven minutes
(Just) Define it all
(Lead guitar)
Bridge:
C
(You )still have time
G
You still have hope
F
You can find
G
What you love
C
Let it shine
G
Let it burn
F
For seven minutes
Am
(You) Just give it all
Gl
P3:
Well It’s time,
Time to realise
You can make it shine
Shine like never before
Have you found what you lost
Have you sung all your songs
Have you shown your true love
Have you shared with one and all
For those seven minutes
Just do it all
Make your seven minutes
Worth it all
