                     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 


F  G  Am  F  G  C 

     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
