[Intro: ]E Emaj9 (2x)
E
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
Emaj9
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust

I've got my heart set on anywhere but here

Steady hands, just take the wheel...

Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Emaj9
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...

Steady feet, don't fail me now

Gonna run till you can't walk
C#m
But something pulls my focus out
A
And I'm standing down...
