G
[Verse 1]
G
The way that things are going now
G Em C
I won't find a place to keep our clothes
G
As softly as a kettle drum
G Em C
Thunder in the night is but a groan
[Chorus]
Em C G
'Til we leave home
Em C G
And they won't see us go
[Verse 2]
G
And frightened is no way to fall
G Em C
At least become a renegade and brawl
G
Well, I am young and taking arms
G Em C
Against a sea of troubles of my own
[Chorus]
G Em C G
When we leave home
Em C G
They won't see us go
[Bridge]
G C
Am I calm enough? Big enough?
D C
Brave enough? Bad enough?
G C
To straighten out, sober up
D C
Settle down and make enough
G C
To make it last and be the one
D C
To be around at home enough
G C
Is it strange to think so much?
D C
I do because I give a fuck
G C G
And I mean nothing to it
[Chorus]
G Em C G
We'll leave home
Em C G
They won't see us go
Em C G
And we'll leave alone
Em C G
They won't dream any more
[Verse 3]
Em C G
And I can't fake the fight
G
It is dark and violent
Em C G
And you can't fake the fight
G
It is stark and silent
Em C G
Forget me not while I
G
I am still and quiet
Em C
Se souvenir de moi
G
Dans ma tour d'ivoire
