It used to seem to me
         F       F       C
That my life ran on too fast
      F       F        Bd
And I had to take it slowly
          F       F          C
Just to make the good parts last

But when you're born to run

It's so hard to just slow down

All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free

Let the world back into me
