boxed up all of her favorite things, sold the rest ata rainy yard sale
big plans and leaving friends and a Westbound sign
weighed out her choices on a scale, prevaling nothing made sense
  just  transportation   and   a    blank        decision she's taking

 taking off               taking off

Second Verse (Do same chords as you did on 1st verse):

no time and no copping out, she's burning daylight and petrol
black out and review mirror heading westward on
strung out on confusion road and ten minutes nevous break downs
Xanax a beer for thought, and she's determined, she's taking off (Then 
it goes back into the Chorus)

Bridge:

6--2--2--2--2--------------0--0--0--0--------------
   is this salvation or an escape from discontent
   will she fling her name in California cement
   punched out of grind, they punched her one too many times

 is tragedy 2,000 miles away...        she's taking off (Then it goes
