Verse 1
Em E7 G6 C
Money to blow, dice to throw in a gamblers paradise
Am Am7 E E7 E E7
Livin’s the same, its a crooked game, till the day we’re wise
Em E7 G6 C
A ride on the train, love on the brain, its a patience exercise
Am Am7 E E7 E E7
Riding your luck, before your stuck, we’re all due a slice
Em E7 G6 C
Takin’ the grief, turnin’ the leaf, its the average mans way
Am Am7 E E7 E E7
Payin’ his fees, down on his knees, but theres never time to pray
Chorus
E Fmj7
But we never take time to slow things down
Dm G Am
we’re all in such a rush these days
E Fmj7
Seems we wanna a city before we build a town
Dm G E7
Won’t be long before its on the ground
Am C
Should be slowing down
(Repeat 3 times)
Verse 2
Time on your own, bored to the bone, its not the place for one
Desire and lust, a partners a must, but all the best have gone
Take to the road, lighten the load, with your memories driftin’ by
Stop for a break, it’s for your own sake, but you've never time to cry
Chorus
Bridge Part 1 (as verse)
Gear number five, makes you feel alive, but when you gonna realise
That gear number two maybe best for you, in someone else’s eyes
Bridge Part 2 (Played as verse but slowed down to 2 bars per one
chord in the verse)
Because it's all speed and greed theres no time to wait
Heading full on to an unknown fate
Tying knots too soon, bride or groom, should wait until their older.
Too many the same, such a shame, their leaning without a shoulder.
Chorus then repeated twice in full, finishes quietly with:
Am C
Na na nah, na na nah nah, na na nah nah nah nah nah
