Verse 1:
       D5
"Don't kid yourself"
you said to me
       C5
"We'll pack our bags but 
                 Bb5
never leave this room
                       C5
We'll never leave this room"
     D5
What happened to our 
plans our dreams?
   C5
We buried them on this small 
           Bb5       C5
street too soon too soon


Refrain:
  Bb5
I know you're scared
but so am I
      C5
If we never leave
then we'll never try


Chorus 1:
F5
  You and I want to know what we were
Hand in hand as unbreakable as stone
C5
  You and I we won't get rolled under
When the waves crash down we'll stay afloat
D5
  You and I want to know we'll make it
Selling out in this godforsaken town
Bb5 C5
    Before this ship goes down


Post Biss: Dm--

Let's take a change and leave tonight
  C5
Believe me dear we'll be alright
     Bb5                         C5
It's true we'll be alright it's true
      D5
We'll turn the key and take the wheel
   C5
No looking back this time it's 
          Bb5            C5
real With you yeah with you


(Repeat Refrain)

Bridge:
Bb-            D5

This time it's now or 
     C5
never Forget the map 
we've got each other
Bb-            D5

This time it's now or never

  Bb5
I know you're scared
but so am I
