I turned on the [B] evening [A] news, saw [Bm] an old man being interviewed, turning a hundred into [A] a day.
[E]
I asked him [Bm] what's the [E] secret to [A] life, [B] he looked up from his old pipe, laughed and said
all [A] I could say [B] is, [E]
don't wait.
[B] Just like [A] that you're six years [B] old and you take a [E] nap and you wake [B] up and you're twenty [A]-five

[E] You better [F#m] have a fifty [E] years staring bed [A] and you pray and [E] God takes you instead.
