Intro: E B C#m A E Give 'em up let 'em go And follow let them follow B Take a breathe steal away Let them play these games play these games C#m Can't cry, won't fight, not tonight Not turning off these lights A Can't shout can't scream think of me But I can't let that be E Holding on let him go Why do we do this we don't know B Stepping out standing up What belongs still hanging longer C#m Slipped away off my feet Can't believe how I've been floating lately A This is a new avenue, know what to do Just gotta let it take me E On a plane I'm leaving for Chicago Any place I go you can't run B Leaving town won't be found here tomorrow Telling stories mine has just begun C#m Take over Leaving no traces Only smiling faces in the sun A Starting over Tying up my laces E But the damage is done E Run away the new rave It'd loosen now it's loosing me B Caught between being me Oh tragedy tragedy C#m Running high cloud 9 Won't let me through there gates no more A Found a place to escape, unlock the door Leaving another girls soul E Oh you'll be fine, about time Need someone to hold back my hands B Let me loose, let me fall They'll understand understand C#m Heard them one maybe twice They'll find you in a ditch somewhere A Spreading wings these little things are Keeping you out the front gate E On a plane I'm leaving for Chicago Any place I go you can't run B Leaving town won't be found here tomorrow Telling stories mine has just begun C#m Take over Leaving no traces Only smiling faces in the sun A Starting over Tying up my laces E But the damage is done E Shutting you out B Shutting you out (The damage is done) C#m Shutting you out A Shutting you out E I'm shutting you out B I'm gonna leave behind C#m One step at a time A I'm gonna do it cause I said so E I'm gonna make it cause I said so B Hey yeah yeah shutting you out C#m Yeah I'm shutting you out I'm shutting you out I'm shutting you out A I'm shutting you out I'm gonna shut you out E On a plane I'm leaving for Chicago Any place I go you can't run B Leaving town won't be found here tomorrow Telling stories mine has just begun C#m Take over Leaving no traces Only smiling faces in the sun A Starting over Tying up my laces E But the damage is done B The damage is done C#m The damage is done A The damage is done E The damage is done B The damage is done C#m The damage is done A The damage is done E The damage is done
