Stop And Smell Thee Roses

                     C                 F
Not to say were not fortunate to be born
                    C                F
to a world that encourages us to grow
    Am                G                F       G
but sometimes perpetual motion moves so slow


C                             F
Hunger for a change of scenery
          C                      F
you drive North in search of snow
        Am
were you prepared for certain shadows
G             F                   G
to follow you everywhere that you go


F  G  Am  F  G  C

     C                    F
your body's been decaying all this time
    C                        F
and now it finally starts to show
            Am
and are you having second thoughts
G                        F       G
about that path that you chose


              C
Now that the fire in your eyes
           F
has burned down like coals
     C                   F
to a warm consistent glow
              Am
well hey that smoke has cleared
    G                        F       G
you regained the use of your nose


               F
So take take a second now
   G                       Am
to stop and smell the roses
              F                     G
just like you never thought you had time
                            C
but always thought that you should
             F                   G               Am
At least for now it okay to take life in smaller doses
          F
Something new has come to town
                     G
seems like he's doing you good


         C             F
And I've come to a new town
     C                      F
yeah sure it's somewhat the same
         Am
it feels good to be aware of
              G              F                 G
but still not focused on the cause behind that pain


     C                         F
And sometimes when the mood is right it feels
      C                        F
like every inch and nothings changed
             Am                  G
but in some way that not for one second
               F
has stayed the same


       F (stop)
So you remember to eat dinner

remember to feel better
 Am
remember your friends
                   G
they'll think that you forgot them
       F                 G
if you only write secret letters
C               F
Remember not to focus on
      C                 F
those feelings that you lack
    Am              G                       C  F  C
You just might give yourself a heart attack
