D
You don’t  wanna hang around
                      F#m           G
Said you were leaving town for the summer
              D
At least til sundown
       D
Cause time ain't gonna grind you down,
                       F#m
ain't gonna waste your life
         G                   D
chasing rainbows like some clown

     F#m         G             D A
But who’s gonna come with you tonight
                G             D A
Whose going to tell you it’s alright?
             Em    D     A
Everything changes over time
           D
Just like wine

Time ain't going to hold you up
Ain't going to make it stop
Long enough to ease your mind
Ain't going to make it last forever

Chorus:
     G                A7
And you whatcha gonna do?
              Gmaj7
Walk this solitary?
               Bm
It's so unnecessary
         Em
But it’s alright
           D
It’s your birthright
A                     G               D  A
Hey hey everything’s different down the line
             G     D     A
everything changes over time

Time ain't going to make it worse
It's going to make you start
Feeling better, just like wine
We're going to make it last forever

Chorus:
And you
What you going to do?
Just the ordinary
So unnecessary
But it's all right
Yes, it's all right
It's your birthright

It's your birthright
