[C#m] I turn my back to the wind [A] to catch my breath,
Before I start off [E] again
Driven whithout a [B] moment to spend
[E] To pass an evening [B] with a [A] drink and a friend [E5]
[C#m5] I let my [C#m] skin get too thin, [A5] I’d like to pause
No matter what [E] I pretend
Like some pilgrim, who [B5] learns to transcend,
[E5] Learns to live [B] as if [E] each step [A]was the end
B5/A5/E5/C#m5/B5
{chorus}
[A5]Time stand [E5]still — I’m [C#m]not looking back
[B5]But I want to look around me now
[A5]Time stand [E5]still — see [C#m]more of the people and the
[B5]places theh surround me {intro}now
Time stand still…
[E]Freeze this [C#m]moment a little bit [B]longer
[A]Make each sen[F#m]sation a little bit [E]stronger
[D]Experience [F#m/A]slips aw[A]ay… [E]
[D]Experience [F#m/A]slips aw{intro}…
Time stand still…
[C#m]I turn my face to the sun,[A]close my eyes,
Let my defen[E5]ces down
All those wounds that I [B]can’t get unwound [E] [B]
[C#m]I let my past go too fast [A] no time to pause
If I could [E5]slow it all down
Like some captain, whose [B]ship runs aground [E] [B]
I can wait until the [A]tide comes around [B5]
{chorus}
[A5]Time stand [E5]still — I’m [C#m]not looking back
[B5]But I want to look around me now
[A5]Time stand [E5]still — see [C#m]more of the people and the
[B5]places theh surround me {intro}now
Time stand still…
[E]Freeze this [C#m]moment a little bit [B]longer
[A]Make each sen[F#m]sation a little bit [E]stronger
Make each im[F#m]pression a little bit [B]stronger
[A]Freeze this [F#m]motion a little bit [E]longer
[D]The innocence [F#m/A]sli…ps aw[A]ay… [E]
[D]The innocence [F#m/A]sli…ps aw{intro}ay…
Time stand still…
{solo} A/B/Bsus4/A5(addB)
[E5]I’m [C#m5]looking back but
I [B5] want to look around me [A5]now
see [C#m5] more of the people and
the [B5]places that surround me {intro} now
Time stand still…
[E5]Summer’s going fast [C#m]nights growing col[B5]der
[A]Children growing up [F#m] old friends growing ol[B5]der
[E]Freeze this [C#m]moment a little bit [B]longer
[A]Make each sen[F#m]sation a little bit [E]stronger
[D]Experience [F#m/A]slips aw[A]ay… [E]
[D]Experience [F#m/A]slips aw[A]ay… [E]
[D]The innocence [F#m/A]sli…ps away…
