Chords

[Intro] B Asus2 x3 [Verse 1]

C#m
I turn my back to the wind

Asus2                              E
To catch my breath before I start off again

                    B            Bsus4           B
Driven on without a moment to spend      To pass an evening

        Asus2                B
With a drink and a friend

C#m
I let my skin get too thin

Asus2                        E
I'd like to pause no matter what I pretend

                    B            Bsus4           B
Like some pilgrim who learns to transcend

                          Asus2          B
Learns to live as if each step was the end

[Chorus] Asus2 E C#m

Asus2       E
(Time stand still)

C#m
I'm not looking back

       B                     Asus2            E
But I want to look around me now (Time stand still)

     C#m
See more of the people

         B                           B
And the places that surround me now

Asus2      B
Time stand still

Asus2 [Bridge]

E            C#m
Freeze this moment

              B   Bsus4
A little bit longer

Asus2         F#m
Make each sensation

               E
A little bit stronger

D           A     E
Experience slips away

D           A     B
Experience slips away

Asus2      B
Time stand still

Asus2 [Verse 2]

C#m
I turn my face to the sun

Asus2
Close my eyes

                E
Let my defenses down

All those wounds

       B       Bsus4
That I can't get unwound

C#m
I let my past go too fast

Asus2
No time to pause

             E
If  I could slow it all down

Like some captain

       B
Whose ship runs aground

                      Asus2             B
I can wait until the tide comes around

[Chorus]

Asus2       E
(Time stand still)

C#m
I'm not looking back

       B                     Asus2            E
But I want to look around me now (Time stand still)

     C#m
See more of the people

         B                        B   Asus2   E
And the places that surround me now

[Bridge]

E            C#m
Freeze this moment

              B   Bsus4
A little bit longer

Asus2         F#m
Make each sensation

               E
A little bit stronger

E          C#m
Make each impression

              B
A little bit stronger

Asus2        F#m
Freeze this motion

              E
A little bit longer

D              A     E
The innocence slips away

D              A     B
The innocence slips away

Asus2      B
Time stand still

Asus2
Time stand still

And the places that surround me now

[Solo] [Bridge]

E          C#m
Summer's going fast

                B
Nights growing colder

Asus2            F#m
Children growing up

                     E
Old friends growing older

E            C#m
Freeze this moment

              B
A little bit longer

Asus2         F#m
Make each sensation

               E
A little bit stronger

D           A     E
Experience slips away

D           A     E
Experience slips away

D              A     B
The innocence slips away
