[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.

[Verse 2]
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.

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,
    Bb                                C
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind.
