half•alive - Rest

[Verse 1]

It was something I believed in

They say the city never sleeps in
Cm Fm
But living busy isn’t giving you your worth
G Abmaj7
Slowing down is fighting back
Gm7 C7
The time you take is given back
Fm7
Shifting gears is saving gas

Gm7 Abmaj7 Ab
Hiding in the quiet is a world of wisdom
Cm Fm
Slowing down and see it

Rest is a secret

I start to believe in

[Verse 2]
Fm
This city’s built on blood and muscle (Yeah, yeah)

A day to stop and rest is holding up the steeple

This might be news to all the people

Living busy isn’t giving you your worth

[Pre-Chorus]

Can I take a minute’š maybe a breath to breathe?
Fm C
Can I take a second? I’m craving clarity
Ab
So lost in the thought of what one day I could be that
Cm7 Fm
That I forgot to take some time to make a richer me
Cm
I searched around to find myself a mental cure
Abm
I took a break’š that’s probably what I was looking for
Cm
What once was lost has finally got me reassured

[Bridge]
Fm Cm
Leaving room for greater paths
Cm
Letting go and kicking back
Cm7 Fm7
Reading books and taking baths
Fm7
Slowing down is

Stopping the motion to process the moment
