Am F
Is this just a matter of me getting what I needed?
C
Till I was safe upon the other side
C
Of the international dateline
Am
And it's just a matter of
F
Me keeping myself seated
C
Till the pilot killed the overdrive
C Am F C
And landed in a place where you can't find me there
Am F C
Find me there
C
When you hold one chance
G
And you break your hands
Am
When the secret's safe
F
And you call my name
C
Then I am gone
Am
I'm tired of you and me (Tired of you and me)
F
And the space that's in between (Space that's in between)
C
And I would rather be somewhere
C
With better thoughts and warmer air
Am
I'm tired of trying to be (Tired of trying to be)
F
Somebody different than me (Different than me)
C
I'm tired of trying to shine it on
C
When the lights go out tonight, I'm gone
Am F C
I'll run from here
Am F C
Run
C
When you hold one chance
G
And you break your hands
Am
When the secret's safe
F
And you call my name
C
When the hurt gets real
G
Then you still can feel
Am
When you can't escape
F
And you cannot stay
C
Then I am gone
(ponte) C Am G C F
Am
Safe upon the other side
G
Of the international dateline

When you hold one chance

Then you still can feel

When the last plane leaves

When you lie awake

And you feel it break
C
Then I am gone
