Introduction: Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb
Dm
I wake up every morning bright and early
Bb
Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
Dm
Tension is pulling me in all directions
Bb
And these problems use me as a rope
Dm
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
Bb
At any time I could explode
Dm
I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired
Bb
Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road
Dm F C Gm
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb F A
We all need a moment in our life
Dm F
Work's hard, the day's too long
C Gm
And that's just where it begins
Bb F A
Tension has had us all this time
Dm
I sit in traffic every single morning
Bb
Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the ground
Dm
Making the money, so I feed my family
Bb
But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time
Dm
I got no free days on my busy schedule
Bb
I turn the page and it's the same
Dm
Don't like my situation, you don't either
Bb
Don't wanna look back scared, I'm working life away
Dm F C Gm
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb F A
We all need a moment in our life
Dm F
Work's hard, the day's too long
C Gm
And that's just where it begins
Bb F A
Tension has had us all this time
F C
But every now and then
Gm Bb
I drive alone an open road
F Dm C Bb
Hot summer days, a gentle breeze that feels alright
F C Gm
All alone, and I can't feel no pain, only strength
Bb F Dm C Bb
Enjoy the sights, I feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright
F
Far from home
Dm F C Gm
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb F A
We all need a moment in our life
Dm F
Work's hard, the day's too long
C Gm
And that's just where it begins
Bb F A
Tension has had us all this time
