Life In Slow Motion
View chords used in this chart
[Verso 1]
C
Lucky numbers existential signs
Am
Small superstitions keeping me alive
F
Praying to the emptiness for extra time
To spend alone in my hotel as my life goes by
C
And in the chaos I find peace and quiet
Am
Nothing means anything, I'm always tired
F
A flash of colour before I expire
It's just a hug at the bar
Another voice in the choir
C
And it's hard to explain
Am
But I've been feeling this way
F
Like I'm watching myself
Live my life outside of me
C
Hold on
Am F
As life from my window seat moves on
Everything is temporary
C
Hold on
Am F
To seconds of life in slow motion
Everything is temporary
[Verso 2]
C
Here it comes
Am
The Chorus of the morning
F
In volumes, merciless and overwhelming
C Am
Take my hand and walk with me into the glory of my ending
F
I am nothing
But ain't that something?
C
Hold on
Am F
As life from my window seat moves on
Everything is temporary
C
Hold on
Am F
To seconds of life in slow motion
Everything is temporary
C
And in the chaos I find peace and quiet
Am
Nothing means anything, I'm always tired
F
A flash of colour before I expire
It's just a hug at the bar
Another voice in the choir
C
And it's hard to explain
Am
But I've been feeling this way
F
Like I'm watching myself
C Am F
Live my life outside of me
C Am F
Everything is temporary
Everything is temporary
C
Hold on
Am F
As life from my window seat moves on
Everything is temporary
C
Hold on
Am F
To seconds of life in slow motion
Everything is temporary
