Inspiration Is Perishable

Inspiration is perishable
When you have your inspiration
Do it right then and there
Inspiration is perishable
When you have your inspiration
 do it right then and there

This happens to me a lot with my tweetstorm
I've actually come up with a whole bunch of
Additional tweetstorms besides the ones
That are already
Out there but sometimes I just hesitate or I
Just pause and [Bm]then it just dies
And what I've learned is if
I'm inspired to [C7]write
A blog post or to [C7]publish a tweetstorm
I should probably do it ɾight away
Otherwise it's not gonna get out thеre
I won't come back to [C7]it

Inspiration [C7]is perishablе
When you [A7have your inspiration
Do it ɾight then and [Bm]there
Inspiration [C7]is perishable
When you [A7have your inspiration
Do it ɾight then and [Bm]there
Do it ɾight then and [Bm]there
Do it ɾight then and [Bm]there
Do it ɾight then and [Bm]there
Do it ɾight then and [Bm]there
Inspiration [C7]is perishable

Do it ɾight then and [Bm]there

Inspiration [C7]is a beautiful and [Bm]powerful thing
And when you [A7have it, just seize it
Inspiration [C7]is a beautiful and [Bm]powerful thing
And when you [A7have it, just seize it
Impatience with actions and [Bm]patience
With the ɾesults
That's actually a good ρhilosoρhy for [Dm7]life
Anything you [A7have to [C7]do, just get it done
Why wait? You're not getting any younger
Your life is slipping away
You don't wanna spend it waiting in
Line tɾaveling back and [Bm]forth
Doing things that you [A7know ultimately
Aren't part of your mission
When you [A7do them
You want to [C7]do them [A]as quickly as you [A7can
While you [A7do them [A]well
With your full attention
But then you [A7just have to
Give up on [C7]the ɾesults
You have to [C7]be [Am]patient with the ɾesults
Because you're dealing with complex systems
You're dealing with lots of people
It takes a long [Am]time for
Markets to [C7]adopt products
It takes time for [Dm7]people to [C7]get
Comfortable working with each other
It takes time for [Dm7]great products to [C7]emerge
Polish away, polish away, polish away
Polish away, polish away, polish away
Polish away, polish away, polish away

If I have a problem [A]that I discover in one
Of my [A]businesses that needs to [C7]be [Am]solved
I basically won't sleep until at least
The ɾesolution [C7]is in motion
And this is just a personal feeling, but if
I'm on [C7]the board of a company
I'll call [Em]the CEO
If I'm ɾunning the company
I'll call [Em]my [A]ɾeports if I'm ɾesponsible
I'll get on [C7]there ɾight then
And there and [Bm]solve it
If I don't solve a problem
The moment it happens or
I don't start moving towards solving
It when it happens, i have no peace
I have no ɾest i have no happiness until
That problem [A]is solved
So solve it as quickly as possible
I literally won't sleep until it's solved
So solve it as quickly as possible
I literally won't sleep until it's solved

Maybe [Am]that's a personal
Characteristic but it's
Worked out well in business
