Verse 1

E
From the first cry of a babe
         A      E           E*  E
'Til the age of twenty-five
E
I searched my soul to find myself
    A                E     E* E**
But I'm still unrecognized
A                B
One-way streets, walls of concrete
G#m                          C#m A
Two restless feet's all I've got.....
   E              D
Oh Lord, I'm so afraid.....
  E                            E**
A third of my life is shot.....

Chorus

B
And I get out of breath
E                          A
Watching the world spin so fast
   E                 C#m
My future becomes my past
   E                 A
My mind gets hung so bad
           B                 E*
That I get out of breath......

Verse 2

E
It's all right for the successful
   A                       E*  E
To tell you "Take your time
E
Have patience, understanding"
          A             E     E* E**
While the suicide rates climb
  A               B
I work all day to try and pay back
G#m                 C#m A
Debts that won't go down....
  E                  D
I can't say that I'm lost......
       E                          E**
No!!!, I just ain't been found....

Chorus

B
And I get out of breath
E                          A
Watching the world spin so fast
   E                 C#m
My future becomes my past
   E                 A
My mind gets hung so bad
           B                 E*
That I get out of breath......

Verse 3

E
People spend more time
          A                   E    E*  E
Asking forgiveness than being good
E
Everyone's out stealing
   A                      E     E* E**
Or home planning how they could
A                B
Double standards make good band aids
G#m                  C#m A
That strip us of our pride......
    E              D
Our morals have decayed, yeah
    E                      E**
And this I cannot bide......

My future becomes my past
   E                 A
My mind gets hung so bad

That I get out of breath......
