Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

We've been alright up until now

But the air that we breathe is about to run out

We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud

But the cue never came and the lights, They never went

down, So we're passing the time

While time passes us, The fast lane's a term never applied to

us Not a dime to my name

Or a prayer in the world I walk out the door

Destination: anywhere but here

Pause

Away from you!

Now I'm on my way to the other side

I'll forget everything I left behind

These empty rooms

Are still filled with you

And so I dropped out of my own race

To a race with no finish line, No first or last place

These faces all rush right past me

I turn and walk away

'Cause we finally know now what our time here's about,

We were not meant to be, Another face in the crowd

We're a forest of lives, And we grow tall and wide

And we'll never be cut down

Destination: anywhere but here

Pause

Away from you!

Now I'm on my way to the other side

I'll forget everything I left behind

These empty rooms

Are still filled with you

[Bridge, pick the chords]

I'm so tired and turned around and scared

And I'm lying in empty beds again

I'll wait for you to come, To your senses, barbed wire fences

Won't keep me from breaking through, I swear I will to you

Now I'm on my way to the other side

I'll forget everything I left behind

These empty rooms

Are still filled with you

Are still filled with you

[Coda, picked again]

I'm so tired and turned around and scared

And I'm lying in empty beds again

Away from you
