[Dm] [Bb]
[Dm] [Bb]
[Dm] [Bb]
[Dm]
I wake up every morning bright and early, [Bb] roll out of bed but I'm never [Dm] quite alone
And it is pulling me in all directions, [Bb] and I'll be fine once [Dm] you use me as a rod
Sometimes the pressure will just drive you crazy, at [Bb] any time I could explode
[Dm] I need some peace of mind, he's got me diet, [Bb] don't wanna lose it but [Dm] I'm turning down the road
I need a [Dbm] moment [C] cause I've spread [B] myself too thin
[Bb] We all need a [F] moment in [A] our lives, [Dm]
we're [Db] talking days too long [C] and that's [G] where it [Bb] begins
Tension [F] has had us [A] all this time
I [Dm] sit in traffic every single morning, [Bb] just as I arrive I'm slaving to the [Dm] grind
Ain't getting the money so I feed my family, but I can't raise them cause I ain't got the time
I've got no free days on my busy schedule, I [Bb] turn the page and it's the [C] same
[Dm] Don't like my situation, you don't either, don't wanna look back, scared of working life [D] away
I need [Dbm] a moment [C] cause I've spread [Bm] myself too [B] thin
[Bb] We all need a [F] moment in [A] our lives, [Dm]
we're [Db] talking days too long [C] and that's [G] where it begins
[Bb] Tension [F] has had us all this [A] time
[Dm]
[F] But every now and [C] then, I drive [Eb]
alone, and [Bb] don't get wrong
I'm [F]
suffocating, a gentle breeze [Dm] that [C] feels [Bb]
alright
I'm on [F] the road, and I can't feel [C] no pain, [Eb] on this train
[F] [Eb] Enjoy the [Bb]
sights, I feel [F] alive, relaxing [Dm] here just [C] still
[Bb] So I'm away, so [F] I'm from home
[C]
[Eb] [Bb]

I need a [Dbm] moment
[C] cause [Bm] I've spread myself too thin
[Bb] We all need a [F] moment in [A] our lives, [Dm]
we're [Db] talking days too long [C] and that's where it [G] [Bb] begins
Tension [F] has had us all this [A] time
