(verse 1) 
G 
I spent the mornin at an old friends grave, 
                                     D      (A) 
Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man, 
G 
 He spent his whole life spinin his wheels, 
 
Never knowin how the real thing feels, 
      D                             Asus4       A 
He never took a chance, or took the time to dance, 
 
 
(pre-cho) 
D/F#                   G          A        
  And I stood there thinkin as I said goodbye, 
D/F#              G           Asus4 
  Today's the first day of the rest of my life, 
          Em7                   D 
I'm gonna stop looking back, a start movin on,

I wanna leave something here, 
   Bm                D 
Go out on a ledge without any net, 
             G             Esus-E 
That's what I"m gonna be about, 
                 G              A            D - G 
YEa I wanna be runnin when the sand runs out, 
(verse 2) 
Cause people do it everyday,  
promise themselves they're gonna change, I've been there 
But I'm changin from the inside out, 
That was then and this is now, I'm a new man, 
Yea I'm a brand new man, 
 
(pre-cho) 
And when they carve my stone they'll write these words, 
Here lies a man who lived like for all that it's worth, 
          Em7                   D 
I'm gonna stop looking back, a start movin on,

(bridge) 
      A 
As a cold wind blows across the grave yard, 
    G                A 
I think I hear, the voice of my old friend whisper, 
Em7  D/F#  G 
 In   my  ear, 
          Em7                   D 
I'm gonna stop looking back, a start movin on, 
  G                      (G) 
Learn how to face my fears,
