E A F#m E
You woke up in a distant neighborhood
E A F#m E
Who faded long ago, had once been good to you

The same old cars were riding in the drive
E D F#m E
You looked down at your hands and saw the lines

We're gone
[Chorus]
E A F#m E
I can make you stay if you wanna be alone
E A F#m E
Now there's nothing left to do but watch you go

Don't look back now, don't come around
E D Bm F#m E
I wish you well and I wish you away

Our neighbors send their kids off to the void

Our bedroom's lit, our heroes on the wall

Could anything ever be this good again
E D F#m E A
Would you go back and change it if you could
[Bridge]

It's coming up through the dark, I've seen it

Grow from the spark to Phoenix

And if you go then you can't come home

And if you go then you can't come home
A C#m Dsus2 A
And if you go then you can't come home

And if you go, if you go
