E                                        A
We've been alright up until now
             E                                B
But the air that we breathe is about to run out
           E                                          A
We've rehearsed our lines clear and loud
            E                                  B
But the cue never came and the lights,
                           E
They never went down
                                 A
So we're passing the time
                            E
While time passes us
                           B                             E
The fast lane's a term never applied to us
                            A
Not a dime to my name
                           E
Or a prayer in the world
                       B
I walk out the door


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you


E                                     A
And so I dropped out of my own race
    E
A race with no finish line,
B
No first or last place
E                      A
These faces all rush right past me
   E                    B
I turn and walk away
                  E                                       A
'Cause we finally know now what our time here's about,
                      E
We were not meant to be
              B
Another face in the crowd
             E
We're a forest of lives
              A
And we grow tall and wide
                 E                 B
And we'll never be cut down


E      A        E                    B
Destination: anywhere but here
                   E
Away from you!
                          A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A                E
I'll forget everything I left behind
                      A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you



E         A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again
E                          A
I'll wait for you to come
E                         B
To your senses, barbed wire fences
             E         A          E
Won't keep me from breaking through
   B
I swear I will to you


E                       A
Now I'm on my way to the other side
E                     A
I'll forget everything I left behind
E                   A
These empty rooms
B
Are still filled with you
A
Are still filled with you


E          A           E                            B
I'm so tired and turned around and scared
E            A          E                 B
And I'm lying in empty beds again
                    E
Away from you
