[Verse 2]
D               G     A7
I get stuck in simple phrases

D                   A7

I turn straw men to monsters

    A7
And line their mouths with knives

D                G    A7
I say, "I can't race forever.

      D                 A7
Can't raise the rock so high."

Let go and take your time."
[BREAK] D G A7 D A7 D G/B G/B D [Chorus]
Em                          D
It gets distorted inside my mind

Isolation, disconnection

Another person's life

D               G    A7

Let go and take your time
