Standard Tuning.
Capo on 2.
D
Light don't stick to you
D
Like they used to do
G
Think you've lost your shine
D
Wishing days away
D
Busy chasing trains
G
Leaving us behind
PREChorus:
Bm A
Let's get a ticket for those tracks
G
Don't say a word and don't look back
Let's get out of here (x2)
Bm A
We can get lost between the rails
G
We've never been afraid to fail
Chorus:
D
If you dig up your roots
Then I'll dig up my roots
G
And we can take them with us
Wherever we go
D
And all that we are
Is in the beat of hearts
G
And I know we're ready
Bm G D
To dive into the unknown, 'cause I'm caught in the middle
A G D
I'd rather break out on my own, 'cause I'm caught in the middle
D
Sights set to the sky
Sick of standing by
G
Getting itchy feet
D
Need some new places
Meet some new faces
G
No one left to please
(PREChorus)
(Chorus)
Bm A
We're carrying our roots
G
In everything we do
You know there's nothing left here for us
Bm A
We've got everything we need
G
It takes a leap to plant the seed
You know there's nothing left here for us
(Chorus x2)
