[Verse 1]
A
  Never thought that I’d grow up to be
D                          Bm
  This punker kid with no identity
        A
Playing songs that no one knows
At ill-attended shows Wondering
D
what the hell this life is for
  Bm
I go for ALL but still want more


[Refrain 1]
F#m
   You blazed a trail where there
    A
was none And I descended on
   Bm
My path in life my destiny
    D                 E
You paved the way for so many


[Chorus 1]
A     D       Bm            D
  Why wait to honor someone when

[Verse 2]
A
  When things were dark
you were a light to me
D
  And everything you said
      Bm
would help me see
         A
You pick me up when no
one can Shape the person
                 D
that I am Keep reminding
me what I’m here for
Bm
Go for ALL and
 E
still want more


[Refrain 2]
F#m
   You pull my heartstrings
           A
with those songs
Of love and hope and loss
    Bm
And silly words that make
           D
no sense I hope you know
    E
how much you mean


[Chorus 2]
A     D       Bm            D
  Why wait to honor someone when
        E        A
they’re gone The time is

now I’ll show you how
