    Em                   Am 
Chromatic I stand on the side of the road  
Em                            Am 
Watching for a car a truck so I can go  
     Em                       Am 
I've got to get myself out of this nothing place  
         Em                     Am 
I've been running around with a tied shoelace

There's a cheerleader squad on the side of the road  
Em                         Am 
Cheering the night now for somewhere to go  
        Em                   Am 
There's me on the corner the corner is home  
Em                            Am 
Look at the controller we're about to hit a new zone

So close too close was crazy love  
                         G          
So gather up your broken brow 
Am                               Em 
Millions together will do it somehow
