Here lately, I've been touring wiht a notion to put an old plan of mine in motion
         G
Start watching my way, half the things that I say
      C/G                 F              C/G                   F                  C/G
Here lately, I've been noticing in the mirror that I've been looking a whole lot bigger
          G
And it's about time, God knows it's about time

[Chorus]
      F                              C/G
It's about time I started getting straight
           F                                        G
And it's about time I started taking things day by day
                 Am7                 E7
Cause I've been running my life and paying the price
                                       Am7
Why do I always have to have things my way
                 F                            C/G
It's crazy how things can change, cause here lately

Cause I've been running my life and paying the price

Why do I always have to have things my way
