[Verso 1]
 
D 
I know Ive done this all before 
Daug                           D6 
Good intentions out the door 
                 D7 
Caught up short 
              G6 
By the day-to-day 
           C9 
Loosing my way 
                         D 
Im back at square one 

  D 
I overthink the simple stuff 
       Daug                         D6 
Cant tell when enoughs enough 
              D7 
I'll find a way 
           G6 
Somehow to make this 
     C9 
more complicated 
        D 
than it is 
 


[Refrão]
 
          Gm6 
Hard as I try 

I manage to lose 
    D 
The path right in front of me 
          C9 
Wandering pilgrim 
                      D 
Devoted but preoccupied 

           Gm6 
Whenever I find 

(or come even close to) 
       D 
A moment of serenity 
                    C9 
In the  blink of an eye 
         D 
And my busy monkey brain 

chimes in 

             Gm6 
I got to let go 
          F#m7 
Of my illusion of control 
            Em7 
Live in the moment 
     Gm7 
This moment 
            D 
And be here now 
 


[Verso 2]
 
        D 
Stuck in old familiar thoughts 
    Daug                        D6 
I'm not improving fast enough 
                D7 
Is there a pathway 
          G6         C9 
That can carry 
                 D 
Someone like me? 

 D 
If only I could find some peace 
  Daug                          D6 
Do my time and get released 
                  D7 
Make some space 
            G6      C9 
Let myself breathe 

... 
                   D 
Get back to square one 
 


[Refrão]
 
          Gm6 
Hard as I try

    D

Outro 
             Gm6 
I got to let go 
          F#m7 
Of my illusion of control 
            Em7 
Try to live in the moment 
         Gm7 
This moment 
            D
