        Dsus2 
I had a meetin' cross town 
      Dsus2/G          Dsus2   Dsus2/G 
I was runnin' behind  
      Dsus2 
Horns blowin', people cursin'  
            Dsus2/G             Dsus2   Dsus2/G 
Like they're losin' their minds 
      Dsus2                         Dsus2/G         Dsus2  Dsus2/G 
Everybody rushinâ?? off to build their little empires 
  Dsus2                          Dsus2/G            Dsus2  Dsus2/G 
We all were gettin' later, he was barely gettin' by 

  Dsus2                    Dsus2/G        Dsus2  Dsus2/G 
An old man walkin' cross a four lane road 
 Dsus2                     Dsus2/G        Dsus2  Dsus2/G 
Groceries in his hand, grand kids in tow 
 Dsus2                  Dsus2/G          Dsus2  Dsus2/G 
Holdin' up traffic like a box car train 
 Dsus2                    Dsus2/G         Dsus2  Dsus2/G 
Like it or not you got some time to think
