E
I have grown up, I am a father now
B                           F#
Everything has changed, but I am still the same somehow
E
You know I've never been afraid of death
B                        F#
But now I wanna see the things that haven't happened yet

I still love getting out of my mind, I should cut it down
I still know people I don't like and I should cut them out
I feel embarrassed 'bout the things that I did in my youth
'Cause now I have a child, I know one day that you will do it

  E
Freight cargo, dot stops and aeroplanes
 B                 F#
Late-night calls, signal is in and out again
 E
Feelin' low, serotonin known better days
G#m             F#
Go, go, go! But every moment you're here with me

Chorus:
Time stops to still
When you are in my arms, it always will
     E            G#m  F#      E
And life, life is changin' tides

I lost the confidence in who I was
Too busy tryna chase the high and get the numbers up
I have the same dream every night
A bullet through my brain the moment that I close my eyes

I still have to lean on a shoulder when I've broken down
And I have people that depend on me to sort them out
I sometimes fantasise I disappear without a trace
I've no regrets, but wish I did things in a different way

Low fly zone, lawsuits, and film stars
Headline wrote, "The princess and the face scar"
Broken bones, break-ins, and Babylon
Go, go, go, but every moment you're here with me

Chorus:
Time stops to still
When you are in my arms, it always will
     E            G#m  F#      E
And life, life is changin' tides
 E             G#m
Time stops to still
      E                             G#m F#
When you are in my arms, it always will
     E            G#m  F#       E
And life, life is changin' tides
