From this point on I will only give the right chords. The Rhythm is always the same,
I showed in the intro. You should fugure that out.

The song progression:
Intro:
Vers 1:
Life is much too short to sit and wonder
Who's gonna make the next move
and will slowly pull you under
when you've always got something to prove?
Chorus:
I don't want to wait a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
Vers:
You say that I misheard you
but I think you misspoke
I hear you laugh so loudly
while I patiently await the joke
Chorus:
I don't want to wait a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
The lifeline, the lifeline
Break (instrumental):
Vers:
It's a crime with only victims
We're all laid out in a row
It's hardest to listen
to what we already should know
Final Chorus:
I could hold out for a lifetime
Yours or mine, yours or mine
Can't you see me reaching for your lifeline?
The lifeline, your lifeline, the lifeline
