C#m                           A 
I turn my back to the wind    to catch my breath, 
               E 
Before I start off again. 
                          B 
Driven on without a moment to spend 
E                B          A               E 
To pass an evening   with a drink and a friend 
C#m                         A 
I let my skin get too thin, I'd like to pause. 
           E 
No matter what I pretend 
                               B 
Like some pilgrim, Who learns to transcend 
E          B     E             A        B  A  E  C#m  B 
Learns to live as if each step was the end 
A           E             C#m 
Time stand still...  I'm not looking back 
       B

Freeze this moment a little bit longer

I turn my face to the sun,    close my eyes.

Let my defences down, all those wounds that I can't get unwound 
C#m                         A 
I let my past go too fast,   No time to pause... 
             E 
If I could slow it all down 
                                   B 
Like some captain, whose ship runs aground... 
E      B            A                  B 
I can wait until the tide comes around 
A         E            C#m

But I want to look around me now
