Intro: G D/F# A
 
VERSE 1:
G D/F# A
Hey babe, it's me parked outside your house
G D/F# A
I know that he's asleep, so listen to me now
G D/F#
Darlin', I'm tired of living just in your dreams
A
I'm getting out
G
You know we both sold our souls
D/F# C A
We're just growing old, in this sleepy, dead-end town
 
 
CHORUS:
Em C
Destination anywhere
G D/F#
Name the place, I'll be there
Em C D/F#
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
 
 
VERSE 2:
G D/F# A
Baby, we both been running uphill for too long
G D/F#
We both settled for something, got nothing
A
And we both know it's wrong
G D/F#
Go on admit it we lived it, I'm leaving-
A
Get your boots and come on
G D/F#
I got my coat and my keys, I need you next to me
C A
Then I'm gone
 
 
CHORUS:
Em C
Destination anywhere
G D/F#
Name the place, I'll be there
Em C D/F#
Pack a bag and we're out of here - let's run
Em C
Destination anywhere
G D/F#
Left or right, I don't care
Em C D/F#
Maybe we'll just disappear like the sun
 
 
SOLO:
During the solo, Jon plays the same chords used in chorus:
 
Em C G D/F#
 
I Think that the acoustic solo is something like this:
 
Play quickly and a lot of times each one of these positions.

As far as I'm concerned, this whole town's lost its nuts
Em C
We won't be here when they put us down

It's our big chance, I'm calling you now
 
 
They'll never let us go unless we try
