Hello forum members

I am taking part in the 50 90 song challenge. This is my first effort. The production and vocal is decidedly shaky (hey, with 50 90 you don't focus on the production but mainly on the song itself. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!).

This one was for a challenge:
"Write a song inspired by time, units of time, or... clocks!?
Examples: “Rock Around The Clock” (Bill Halley & The Comets), “After Hours” (The Weeknd or Velvet Underground), “Time After Time” (Cyndi Lauper), “15 Minutes” (The Strokes)"

I used LyricLab to generate the lyrics and chords and then made some minor changes.

Lyrics and chords:
[G] Time keeps [C] slipping [G] away
[Am] Like sand through the [D] hourglass every [G]day
[C] Worries [G] fill my [D] mind
[C] What if I'm [D] running out of [G] time?

Oh, the [C] regrets that [G] haunt my [Am] soul
[D] Will I look back and wish I'd [C] taken [G] control?
[C] Don't want to [G] wake up with [Am] sorrow
[D] Regret a choice I made or [C] path I didnt [G] follow

[G] Moments [C] slip through my [G] hands
[Am] On distant [D] shores like grains of [G] sand
[C] I fear the [G] choices that I [D] make
[C] I want to [D] live cause life wont [G] wait

Oh, the [C] regrets that [G] haunt my [Am] soul
[D] Will I look back and wish I'd [C] taken [G] control?
[C] don't want to [G] wake up with [Am] sorrow
[D] Regret a choice I made or [C] path I didnt [G] follow

[Em] Time, oh [C] time, [Em] won't you [C] slow down?
[Em] Give me a [C] chance to turn things [D] around.

[C] regrets that [G] haunt my [Am] soul
[D] Will I look back and wish I'd [C] taken [G] control?
[C] don't want to [G] wake up with [Am] sorrow
[D] Regret a choice I made or [C] path I didnt [G] follow

[G] Time keeps [C] moving it won't [G] wait
[Am] But I'll make the [D] most of every [G] twist of fate
[C] No more [G] worries [C] no more [G] strife
[C] embrace each [G] day of this [D] beautiful [G] life
