Intro:

synth is playing A, guitar kicks in (about 0:17) with A as well



Verse:
   A5                D5
Oh take me anywhere you could
            A5                 E5                  A5                          
Imagine and faithfully I will break the prison I was born in


   A5                    D5
Oh take me anywhere the sun shines
         A5           E5          A5
Away the harms of mankind off my shoulders




Refrain:

 D5
'Cause anything that we were meant to be
    A5                                     D5
Was lost but I want to escape in the afternoon
                               A5
To see the youth run through my hands




1st bridge:

A5    E5     A5    E5   A5  
       Sometimes I miss
  E              A         E    (listen carefully to get the pattern)
My old friends in my home town



Verse:
          A5                D5
But don't take me anywhere it makes me
         A5             E5              A5
To dream about a life without a past with you




Refrain:
 D5
'Cause anything that we were meant to be
    A5                                     D5
Was lost but I want to escape in the afternoon
                               A5
To see the youth run through my hands


    D5                     
And anything that we were said to be
    A5                                   D5
Was ruled in the juvenile grey industry mind
                           A5
Now do you see yourself that way




2nd Bridge + Solo

  D5          A5            D5             A5    (2x, 2nd guitar plays the solo)

  D5          A5            D5             A5 
Huhuuhuhu  Huhuuhuhu    Huhuuhuhu     Huhuuhu   



Refrain:
     D5
When everything they wanted to be
    A5                                 D5
The better people on a map of turning backs
                           A5
Oh I'd just like to try to breathe


 D5
'Cause anything that we were meant to be
    A5                                     D5
Was lost and I want to escape in the afternoon
                               A5
To see the youth run through my hands


D5                                A5
  To see the youth run through my hands
D5                                A5        end with continuing slapping A5
  To see the youth run through my hands
