Intro A/G A 
A 
it's been years 
since the big escape 
the summer days 
              Bm
were gorgeous as your face
  E
i mean it 

A
the birds sang 
we fell in love
we got fired
             Bm
we got fired up
  E
i needed it 
A
ooo ooo 
      Bm
ooo ooo 
E
ooo ooo oooo 

A
and we come 
to a harder part 
the casualties of a war 
          Bm
we didn't start 
E
and never ever wanted

G
i've got the time 
C
if you've got the notion

G
i've got the patience 
C
if you've got the gusto 
A
all of our strengths 
D
will fit just like a puzzle 
Bm                          E    
all the way down the west coast
A
it's about time for a big escape
it's about time for a big escape
it's about time for a big escape
it's about time for a big escape

ooo ooo (repeat)
