Introduction:

                                           C                                 F 
Not to say were not fortunate to be born
                                         C                               F 
to a world that encourages us to grow
         Am                               G                               F             G 
but sometimes perpetual motion moves so slow
 C                                                         F 
Hunger for a change of scenery
                     C                                           F 
you drive North in search of snow
                 Am 
were you prepared for certain shadows
 G                         F                                     G 
to follow you everywhere that you go

           C                                       F 
your body's been decaying all this time
         C                                               F 
and now it finally starts to show
                         Am 
and are you having second thoughts
 G                                               F             G 
about that path that you chose
                             C 
Now that the fire in your eyes
                       F 
has burned down like coals
           C                                     F 
to a warm consistent glow
                             Am 
well hey that smoke has cleared
         G                                               F             G 
you regained the use of your nose
                               F 
So take take a second now
       G                                             Am 
to stop and smell the roses
                             F                                         G 
just like you never thought you had time
                                                         C 
but always thought that you should
                           F                                     G                             Am 
At least for now it okay to take life in smaller doses
                     F 
Something new has come to town
                                           G 
seems like he's doing you good
                   C                         F 
And I've come to a new town
           C                                           F 
yeah sure it's somewhat the same
                   Am 
it feels good to be aware of
                             G                           F                                 G 
but still not focused on the cause behind that pain
           C                                                 F 
And sometimes when the mood is right it feels
             C                                               F 
like every inch and nothings changed
                           Am                                   G 
but in some way that not for one second
                               F 
has stayed the same
               F(stºp) 
So you remember to eat dinner
remember to feel better
   Am 
remember your friends
                                       G 
they'll think that you forgot them
               F                                 G 
if you only write secret letters
 C                             F 
Remember not to focus on
             C                                 F 
those feelings that you lack
         Am                           G                                             C   F   C 
You just might give yourself a heart attack
