It used to seem to me
 
         F       F       C
That my life ran on too fast
 
      F       F        Bd
And I had to take it slowly
 
          F       F          C
Just to make the good parts last
 
     F           F       Bd
But when you're born to run
 
         F       F         C
It's so hard to just slow down
 
         F       F        Bd
So don't be surprised to see me
 
              F       F      C
Back in that bright part of town

All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
 
 Bd                                      F
And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
 
C                       F
Let the world back into me
 
Bd                         F
And oh I'll be a sight to see
 
F                  C
Back in the high life again
