[Intro]
G Em7 C G G/B Em C
[Verse 1]
G
You know it scares me
G
But I ain't gonna leave
C G
I just got a few things I really need
Am7
To get off of my chest and out of my head
C D
'Cause lately, I'm barely breathing
[Verse 2]
G
And all of this pressure
G
I can't help but feel
C
It probably won't end well
G/B
If I don't get real
Am7
Everybody wants somethin'
Am7
And then they want more
C D
I can't shoulder it anymore
[Chorus]
G
Been white-knuckled
G/B Em C
Just hanging on for dear life
G Em7 C
Meanwhile the clock's like a thief in the night
G Em C
Maybe tomorrow, I'll finally decide
Am7 G
To slow it all down
D C
While I still got time
[Verse 3]
G
I'll hold a job down
G
But you hold my heart
Cmaj7
You know my intention
Cmaj7
And my every scar
Am7
I got to get back to
Em C
What once was a fire, nothing's means more
D
Than this love of ours
[Chorus]
G
I've been white-knuckled

To slow it all down

While I still got time

What's it all worth, living like this?

And missing the beautiful moments life has to give us
