                    C5
Take everything you know and write it on your skin
                  G5
And you can carry on and forget everything
                    F5                       C5
Take everything you own and put it in your car
               G5
You can drive away, drive away so far,
                F5                            C5
And drive into a lake and take off all your clothes,
                   G5
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
                      F5                       C5
But you've got all you know written on your skin,
                 G5
So you can carry on and forget everything


PRE-CHORUS:

C5                 F5         C5
All the things I'd rather be,
                  F5         C5
All the things I'd rather be

CHORUS:

C5                                     A5  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
    F5            C5
I can, only leave



                    C5
Take everything you know and write it on your skin
                  G5
And you can carry on and forget everything
                    F5                      C5
Take everything you own and put it in your car
               G5
You can drive away, drive away so far,
                F5                            C5
And drive into a lake and take off all your clothes,
                   G5
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
                      F5                      C5
But you've got all you know written on your skin,
                 G5
So you can carry on and forget everything



PRE-CHORUS:

C5                 F5         C5
All the things I'd rather be,
                  F5         C5
All the things I'd rather be


CHORUS:
C5                                     A5  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
    F5            C5
I can, only leave
C5                                     A5  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
    F5            C5
I can, only leave


MID-SECTION:

C5                                 G5
Life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off
    C5                                 G5
And life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off

(Let's start again)
And life feels like a music box (start again), I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off

CHORUS:
C5                                     A5  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here

I can, only leave
C5                                     A5  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here

I can, only leave

C5                         G5            C5
