[Verse 1]
F C
You might believe?,And still you feel the chase has just begun,
F C
That you must reach the horizon before,The setting of the sun,
Bb C
You chase the light in front of you,Nightfall is close behind,
Bb C
If you stop to catch a breath,You know what you will find.
[Chorus 1]
F C
Don`t slow down don`t touch the ground,You know what you will find,
Bb C
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind,
Bb C
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind.

F C
No time to stop don`t go to sleep,Prepare to pay the cost,
F C
The hours and minutes are passing by,Another day is lost,
Bb C
Impatience is a virtue,Catch me if you can,
Bb C
The seconds have been ticking by,Since your life began.
[Chorus 2]
F C
Don`t slow down don`t touch the ground,You know what you will find,
Bb C
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind,
Bb C
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind.
