Capo 3
Intro: C F C F C F G (x2)
C F C
Voices echo down the halls
F
And we're leaning against walls
C F G
How long do you suppose 'till this one falls?
C F C
We could just stand right here and smile
F
That'll only entertain us for a short while
C F G
And were you seriously waiting for this call?
F G E F F Fm
C F
Remember when I said I had to get away?
C F
I was just looking for something to say
C F G
Hope that explains why I could not stay
C F
And I remember when you said you had to get away
C F
Well I sure hope that you do someday
C F G
That is if it gets boring here anyway
F G
And why is everything like that so concrete
E F
When that's the same stuff under your feet
F G C
That connects where your standing to a place you'd rather be
F G
I left home being quite discrete
E F
That I could use someone in the passenger seat
F G C
But none would I expect to follow me
C F C
Party all night, nervous tic
F C
Try out new accents maybe one will stick
F G
Crack knuckles and put yourself to bed
C F C
Sleep through the morning, deafly turn off alarms
F C
Hey, it's the summer Hey, it's no harm
F G
And why wait to get enough sleep 'til your dead
F G E
Eleven hour drive Midwest again
F
Same mixtape nine times, maybe ten
F G C
Entertaining thoughts that's like a legacy
may never end, oh
F G E
Until the new one does begin
F F
And will you break or will you bend
G C F C
I hope you make a few new friends
