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

And I'll drink and dance with one hand free

Let the world back into me

And oh I'll be a sight to see

Back in the high life again
