Tension Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][F][Am]
[F][Am][F][Am]

[Verse 1]
I wake up every [Am]morning,
bright and early
Roll out of bed but I'm
never [F]quite [Am]alone
Tension is pulling me in all directions
And I'll be done once you
use me as a rope
Sometimes the pressure
will just drive you crazy
At any time I could explode
I need some piece of mind,
it's got me tired
Don't wanna lose it,
but I'm turning down that road

[Verse 2]
I need a mo[E]ment cause I've
spread [G]myself to [F#m]thin
[F]We all need a momen[C]t
in our [E]lives[Am]
Works hard, the [E]days too long
And [G]that's just where it [D]begins
[F]Tension has had[C] us all this time
[E][D]

[Verse 3]
[Am]I sit in traffic every single morning
Just as I arrive,
I'm slav[F]ing to the [Am]grind
Making the money so I feed my family
But I can't raise them,
'cause I ain't got the time
I got no free days on my busy schedule
I turn the page and it's
[F]the same[Am]
Don't like my situation,
you don't either
Don't wanna look back scared,
I will get away

[Verse 4]
I need a mo[E]ment cause I've
[G]spread myself to [F#m]thin
[F]We all need a momen[C]t in our liv[E]es
[Am]Works hard, the days[E] too long
And [G]that's just where it [D]begins
[F]Tension has had[C] us all this time
[E]

[Verse 5]
[Am]But [C]every now and then[G]
I drive [Bb]alone
And over [F]all
Hot summer [C]days
A gentle breeze that [Am]feels [G]al [F]right
Home [C]alone
And I can't feel the [G]pain
Only [Bb]strain
Enjoy the [F]sights
I feel [C]alive
When actually here just [Am]feels [G]al [F]right

[Interlude 1]
Far from home

[Verse 6]
I need a mo[E]ment cause I've
[G]spread myself to [D]thin[F#m]
[F]We all need a momen[C]t
in our [E]lives[Am]
Works hard, the [E]days too long
And that's [G]just where it [D]be gins
[F]Tension has had[C] us all this time
