Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[Am] Waking up with the sunrise [G]
[Dm] Chasing dreams with tired eyes [Am]
[G] Running round in circles, [C] no surprise [E]
[Am] Coffee cups and neon lights [G]
[Dm] Underneath the city’s nights [Am]
[G] We’re just trying to make it, [C] make it right [E]
(Chorus)
[F] No time to waste, [G] life’s a race [C]
[Dm] We’re all just trying to find our place [E]
[F] In this urban maze, [G] through the haze [C]
[Dm] We’re Busy Look, setting [E] the pace
(Verse 2)
[Am] Late nights and early flights [G]
[Dm] The cityscape in distant sights [Am]
[G] We’re in the fast lane, [C] reaching new heights [E]
[Am] Despite the rush, we play a tune [G]
[Dm] Underneath the same bright moon [Am]
[G] We’re Busy Look, we’ll be there soon [C] [E]
(Chorus)
[F] No time to waste, [G] life’s a race [C]
[Dm] We’re all just trying to find our place [E]
[F] In this urban maze, [G] through the haze [C]
[Dm] We’re Busy Look, shooting [E] through space
