intro : Dm A# 4

xverse 1 :

Dm
i wake up every morning bright and early
A#
roll out of bed but i’m never quite alone
Dm
tension is pulling me in all directions
A#
and these problems use me as a rope

Dm
sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
A#
at any time i could explode
Dm
i need some peace of mind , it’s got me tired
A#
don’t wanna lose it , but i’m turning down that road

chorus :

Dm F C Gm
i need a moment ’cause i’ve spread myself too thin
A# 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
A# F A
tension has had us all this time

verse 2 :

Dm
i sit in traffic every single morning
A#
just as i arrive , i’m slaving to the grind
Dm
making the money , so i feed my family
A#
but i can’t raise them , ’cause i ain’t got the time

Dm
i got no free days on my busy schedule
A#
i turn the page and it’s the same
Dm
don’t like my situation , you don’t either
A#
don’t wanna look back scared , i will get away

chorus :

Dm F C Gm
i need a moment ’cause i’ve spread myself too thin
