G5 E5 C5 D5 D5 G5


G5
I sometimes lose my faith in luck
                                                E5
I don't know what I want to be when I grow up
         C5              D5                             D5 G5
I just count the rain Wearing the floor through the boards again
G5
I wish I could find a soul to steal
                                         E5
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel
              C5                   D5                       D5 G5
and we could drive it home, and never have to worry about being alone



C5                E5
Oooh, follow my tracks
D5                                D5 G5
See all the times I should have turned back
C5               E5
Oooh, I wept alone
D5                               D5 G5
I know what it means to be on my own
E5                      C5
Oooh, the things I've known
D5                               D5 G5
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
E5                      C5
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
D5               D5 G5
Taking the hard way home
D5               D5 G5
Taking the hard way home


G5
I never did learn how to follow the rules
                                                 E5
I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full
        C5            D5                         D5 G5
I just lie and burn Wreck my mind while the planet turns
G5
I sometimes wish I could start again
                                                E5
I'd try and do the right things every now and then
     C5              D5                                    D5 G5
I'd step in line, that's what I would do if I could turn back time

C5                E5
Oooh, follow my tracks
D5                                D5 G5
See all the times I should have turned back
C5               E5
Oooh, I wept alone
D5                               D5 G5
I know what it means to be on my own
E5                      C5
Oooh, the things I've known
D5                               D5 G5
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
E5                      C5
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
D5               D5 G5
Taking the hard way home
D5               D5 G5
Taking the hard way home



G5 E5 C5 D5 D5 G5


G5
I tell you how I want to live
                                         E5     
Forget about the take, forget about the give
            C5                D5                     D5 G5   
I want to leave this town, fake my death and never be found

C5                E5
Oooh, follow my tracks
D5                                D5 G5
See all the times I should have turned back
C5               E5
Oooh, I wept alone
D5                               D5 G5
I know what it means to be on my own
E5                      C5
Oooh, the things I've known
D5                               D5 G5
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
E5                      C5
Oooh, the seeds I've sown
D5               D5 G5
Taking the hard way home
D5               D5 G5
Taking the hard way home


G5

         C5              D5                             D5 G5
I just count the rain Wearing the floor through the boards again
