F G Am Am

[Verse 1]

At forty-four minutes to four

An angel walked up to my door

Opened the windows to my soul

Told me he thinks that I should know

As the globe spins 'round and 'round

If there's one thing that I learned

While in those county lines

It's that everything takes time

You have gotta lose your pride

You have gotta lose your mind

Just to find your peace of mind

You have got to trust the signs

Everything will turn out fine

[Hook]

So why aren't you smiling? Why aren't you smiling?

Life can get wild when you're caught in the whirlwind

Lost in the world when you're chasing the win

You gotta understand

Fmaj7 G

There's really no end, there's really no beginning

There's really no real, there's really no pretending

Fmaj7 G

There's really no fail, there's really no winning

Cause nothing really is, and everything really isn't
