D5
   I wake up every morning bright and early
D5/Bb
      Roll out of bed but I'm never quite alone
D5
   Tension is pulling me in all directions
D5/Bb
      And these problems use me as a rope

D5
   Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy
D5/Bb
 At any time I could explode
D5
   I need some peace of mind, it's got me tired
D5/Bb
 Don't wanna lose it, but I'm turning down that road

D5       D5/C#                 C5               C5/B
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb5           F5             A5
We all need a moment in our life
D5              D5/C#
Work's hard, the day's too long
    C5                    C5/B
And that's just where it begins
Bb5           F5             A5
Tension has had us all this time

D5
 I sit in traffic every single morning
D5/Bb
 Just as I arrive, I'm slaving to the ground
D5
 Making the money, so I feed my family
D5/Bb
 But I can't raise them, 'cause I ain't got the time

D5
 I got no free days on my busy schedule
D5/Bb
 I turn the page and it's the same
D5
 Don't like my situation, you don't either
D5/Bb
 Don't wanna look back scared, I'm working life away

D5       D5/C#                 C5               C5/B
I need a moment 'cause I've spread myself too thin
Bb5           F5             A5
We all need a moment in our life
D5              D5/C#
Work's hard, the day's too long
    C5                    C5/B
And that's just where it begins
Bb5           F5             A5
Tension has had us all this time

But every now and then
          D#/Bb         Bb/F
I drive alone an open road
           F                          Dm/A    C/G Bb/F
Hot summer days, a gentle breeze that feels alright
        F                        C/G            D#/Bb
All alone, and I can't feel no pain, only strength
          Bb/F              F                      Dm/A  C/G Bb/F
Enjoy the sights, I feel alive, relaxing here just feels alright
         F
Far from home
