Verse 1
E               B  
I turned on the evening news
A             B
Saw a old man being interviewed
E          B               A
Turning a hundred and two today
E                B
Asked him what's the secret to life
A            B 
He looked up from his old pipe
E           B               A
Laughed and said "All I can say is."

Chorus

E
Don't blink
B                     A                     B             
Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you
E                  B                                          
Wake up and you're twenty-five and 
     A                                   E
your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

E
Don't blink
B                   A                    B 
You just might miss your babies growing like mine did
E            B                  A                    B
Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your "better half"
    F#m                  E
Of fifty years is there in bed
    A                        E
And you're praying God takes you instead
F#m                                          B
Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think
         E             B       A      B
So don't blink

Verse 2
E               B                 A                 B  
I was glued to my tv when it looked like he looked at me and said
E            B                    A          B                  
"Best start putting first things first."
E                     B
Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand
         A                  B
You can't flip it over and start again
E                       B                      A 
Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth
