INTRO: G  C  G 
 
                       C
Stop the car if I have come this far
                                G          D
Without learning how to make an unexpected turn
         G                       C
Learn to play the changes to the beat of time
                   D               G     D
Satisfaction never was a friend of mine
 
 
CHORUS:
   G                    C
Perceive it and say goodbye to it
                     G     D
Don't hold on to any one moment
              G                  C
You've got to love it and then release it
                     G     D
Don't hold on to any one moment
 
 
G                       C
Send a postcard, if you go to France
                       G              D
Let me know if you're alive and doing fine
       G                       C
I have never loved by mail, so here's my chance
                               D            G     D
I would like to write it, if I ever get the time
 
 
CHORUS:
   G                    C
Perceive it and say goodbye to it
                     G     D
Don't hold on to any one moment
              G                  C
You've got to love it and then release it
                     G    
Don't hold on to any one moment
 
 
G                        C
Draw your boundaries and paint your signs
                                    G              D
Though they say 'Alone', at least I have a word to pray
      G                         C
And I follow, needing all there is of time
                         D               G    D
Solo dancers learn their steps along the way
 
 
CHORUS:
   G                    C
Perceive it and say goodbye to it
                     G     D
Don't hold on to any one moment
              G                  C
You've got to love it and then release it
                     G           D  
Don't hold on to any one moment
 
 
OUTRO:
G         C
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh 
G         C
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh 
                     G
Don't hold on to any one moment
