[Verse 1]
[Am]I turn my back to the wind
[F]To catch my breath
Before I start off [C]again
Driven on
Without a [G]moment to spend
[C]To pass an evening
[G]With a [F]drink and a [G]friend

[Verse 2]
[Am]I let my skin get too thin
[F]I'd like to pause,
No matter [C]what I pretend
Like some pilgrim

As [G]if each [F]step was the [G]end

[F]Close my eyes
Let my defens[C]es down
All those wounds
That I [G]can't get [C]unwound[G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]I let my past go too fast
[F]No time to pause
If I could [C]slow it all down
Like some captain
Whose [G]ship runs aground
[C]I can wait until[G] the tid[F]e comes aro[G]und

[Pre-chorus 2]
[F]Time stand [C]still
I'm [Am]not looking back
