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
