Em  C  G  D
Em  C  G  D


[Verse 1]
Em            C
  Where you going?
                    G
  It's hard to keep up
                   D
  You're moving so fast, leaving me behind
Em                C
  Give me an hour, that's all I need
G               D
  It's now or never, I'm running out of time
      Em
  The seconds are relentless
          C
  I'm helpless as they keep flying by
  G
  Stuck here in the desert
         D
  I feel like I'm in an hourglass
  Em
  Maybe I can stay and 
        C
  be comfortable living in the past
      G
  But I don't wanna be alone 
     D
  so can you take me to you now


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
  Too fast
    C                            G
  I try to follow but I'm losing hope
             D
  We used to walk together
                    Em
  down this winding road
                C
  But you're so far ahead
                  G               D
  it seems impossible to catch up


[Chorus]
                          Em
And now I'm walking on my way
               C
all alone, I'm feeling so cold
            G
Not getting anywhere, 
                   D
I feel like I'm in slow mode
             Em
Used to be a winner
                   C
everything was all black and white
        G                           D
Now I'm bottom of the pile, a dusty photo


[Post-Chorus]
               Em
I'm afraid I'm gonna 
                      C
be left stranded by myself
                G
All the foolish dreams
                       D
I had inside of me are broken
             Em
Everything I wanted 
                       C
in the distance out of reach
              G
Am I the only one
                         D
that's gon' stay here forgotten, ayy


[Verse 2]
Em
  So many thoughts are inside of my head
C
  I'm always drying these tears on my face
G                                  D
  How could I ever get used to the fact that
  
  The songs and the lyrics, they all sound the same
Em
  "Come on, I know you can do it"
    C
  I have to repeat it again and again, yeah
G
  I wanna look in the mirror
  D
  Telling myself that I did a good job, ayy
Em
  Everyone gonna be watching
C
  I gotta show 'em all of me
G
  But I've been insecure lately
D 
  'Cause I don't know what they want from me, ayy
Em                               C
  Feeling so nervous, I wanna go forward
  
  But everyone else overtaking me
  G
  Blocking my vision, my body is shaking
    D
  I don't know if I can keep up, yeah, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]
Em
  Too fast
    C                            G
  I try to follow but I'm losing hope
             D
  We used to walk together
                    Em
  down this winding road
                C
  But you're so far ahead
                  G               D
  it seems impossible to catch up


[Chorus]
                          Em
And now I'm walking on my way
               C
all alone, I'm feeling so cold
            G
Not getting anywhere, 
                   D
I feel like I'm in slow mode
             Em
Used to be a winner
                   C
everything was all black and white
        G                           D

               Em
