[intro]
DmBb x4
[verse 1]
Dm
i wake up every morning bright and early
Bb
roll out of bed but i'm never quite alone
Dm
tension is pulling me in all directions
Bb
and these problems use me as a rope
Dm
sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
Bb
at any time i could explode
Dm
i need some peace of mind, it's got me tired
Bb
don't wanna lose it, but i'm turning down that road
[chorus]
DmA/C#CG/B
i need a moment 'cause i've spread myself too thin
BbFA
we all need a moment in our life
DmA/C#
work's hard, the day's too long
CG/B
and that's just where it begins
BbFA
tension has had us all this time
[verse 2]
Dm
i sit in traffic every single morning
Bb
just as i arrive, i'm slaving to the grind
Dm
making the money, so i feed my family
Bb
but i can't raise them, 'cause i ain't got the time
Dm
i got no free days on my busy schedule
Bb
i turn the page and it's the same
Dm
don't like my situation, you don't either
Bb
don't wanna look back scared, i will get away
[chorus]
DmA/C#CG/B
i need a moment 'cause i've spread myself too thin
BbFA
we all need a moment in our life
DmA/C#
work's hard, the day's too long
CG/B
and that's just where it begins
BbFA
tension has had us all this time

FC
but every now and then
EbBb
i drive alone and over all
FDmCBb
hot summer day, a gentle breeze that feels alright
FCEb
all alone, and i can't feel no pain, only strain
BbFDmCBb
enjoy the sights, i feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright

far from home
