E                  B
  Bought a one way ticket to

the west coast near the mountain tops
                      A
He's gonna change his life around
E                    B
  He's gotta get away from the every 
    F#m                   A
day life that he's always lived

right from wrong

   It's hard to change 
          A
something When 

the way for so long

   And then he told me

with a tear in his eye

  "I don't think I'll

ever change my life

   Can't just pack my bags 
    A           E
and run away" (Away)

  Now he's back it's one year 
B                       F#m

    A
and anger now fills his veins

   He's ashamed of the 
A
man he has become
