G                                   D
Staring out across that mountainside
Em                        C
Not another soul around.
G                                       D
Just a whisper of a breeze blow-ing by?.
Em                                 C
And my shadow on the ground.
D                           Em
All I want to do is breathe some air
C                                         D
With a cup of coffee and a rocking chair.

[Chorus]
C                        G
Oooo, when the world?s flashing by
D                                               Em
Life can disappear before your eyes.
C                        G
Oooo, when I feel like mine
D                           Em
Is a runaway train and I?m the one to blame.
C
I wanna lay on mamma?s couch
D
Close my eyes and think about
G         G/F#  Em                C
How    it        was    back    then.
Em                                        D
Kick back and take a deep breath,
NC
And take it all in.

G D Em C

G                                   D
Put on my boots, turn that cell phone off
Em                        C
Get ahold of what I need.
G                                       D
Meet my brothers at the coffee shop.
Em                        C
Maybe grab a bite to eat.
D                           Em
Pick up my dad so we can wet those lines
C                             D
See if Elizabeth is busy tonight.

[Chorus]
C                        G
Oooo, when the world?s flashing by
D                                               Em
Life can disappear before your eyes.
C                        G
Oooo, when I feel like mine
D                           Em
Is a runaway train and I?m the one to blame.
C
Well I wanna take an old dirt road
D
Where the pines and dogwoods grow
G         G/F#  Em                C
And   the   pave-   ment   ends.
Em                                        D
Kick back and take a deep breath,
NC
And take it all in.

G D Em C

[Chorus]
C
And I wanna sing in my old church
D
Far away from crowds and work
G         G/F#  Em                C
Where   my    life   began.
Em                                        D
Kick back and take a deep breath,
Em                                        A           C
Kick back and take a deep breath,
         D            G
And take it all in.
D Em
C                            G
