[Bm]Coming from a [C]place where time goes [G]slow
[Bm]Heading home with [C]hearts and minds both [G]full
There’s [C] a lot of life [C]out there to [G]see
And there’s [C]lots of dreams held inside [G]me

[C]Travelling [G]swiftly
On the [Bm]safe [C]road [G]home

But the [Dm]sun is shining [C]right
On where I’m [G]going

And [Dm]lot’s of places worth [C]going
But [Dm]right now I’m [C]not...
Slowing [G]down

Sometime I loose my grip
But not on this
