D
 I turned on the evening news
     G
Saw a old man bein interviewed
D                            G
Turnin a hundered and two today
D
They asked him what's the secret to life
G
He looked up from his old pie
D                          G
Laughed and said all I can say is


CHORUS:
      D       A
Don't Blink, just like that
     G                 A
Your six years old and you take a nap
        D                A
And you wake up and your 25
          G                        A
Then your high school sweetheart's become your wife
      D          A
Don't Blink, you just might miss
       G             A
You're babies growin like mine did
D           A
Turnin into moms and dads
     G                     A
Next thing you know you're better half
   Em         D/F#
of 50 years is there in bed
         G                D/F#
And your prayin God takes you instead
Em                D/F#               G               A
Trust me friend, a hundred years goes faster than you think
         D      G      D       G
So Don't Blink


D
 Well I was glued to my T.V.
        G
When it looked like he looked at me
         D                                G
And said, "Best start puttin first things first"
             D
Cuz when your hour glass runs outta sand
         G
You can't flip it over start again
D                                            G
Take every breath God gives you for what it's worth

                  D/F#
