Here's to new horizons
G
Well you kicked his lazy ass out of your life
And suddenly you don't hate yourself
F
And now you're flying
Somehow you don't hate yourself
G Am7
And now you're flying
F
And is it everything you wanted?

Do you feel so weightless when you're hanging up his call?
F
You gotta bottle up that feeling
G Am7
You gotta bottle up that feeling
[Pre Chorus]

Now with the windows down, I am reborn

In the ever-fading light

No I don't feel that sinking feeling no more
G Am7
I think it's going to be alright
[Chorus]

I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
G
I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
F
I'm gonna turn my music up
G
I'm gonna drown you out tonight
Am7
I'm gonna drown you out tonight

I'm gonna board my windows shut

I'm gonna tear my posters up

Finally I'm living, not surviving
