This town is cold-er now,
6  6     5   -6   5  5
I think it's sick of us.
6     6   5   -6  -7   6
It's time to make our move.
6    6   5   -6   5   5
I'm shak-in' off the rust.
-4    -4  5  6     5
I've got my heart set
6  6  5  -6    5   5
on an-y-where but here.
6    6   5    -6  -7  6
I'm star-in' down my-self,
6     6   -7  -7  7 -6
count-in' up the yea-rs.
-6   -7  7
Stead-y hands,
8     -8  -7  7  -6
just take the whe-el.
-6 -7  7     8
Ev'ry glance is
-8 -6  6  -6
kil-l-in' me.

-6   -7  7
Time to make
8    -8  -6  7 -8
one last ap-pe-al
6   -6   -6  6  5
for the life I lead.

7    -8  -8
Stop and stare.
-6  7    -8   8  -8
I  think I'm mov-in,
7  -6 7  -8  -8
but I go no-where.
7    -8  8   -8
Yeah, I know that
7   -6  7   -8  -8   7
ev-'ry-one gets scar-ed,
-6   7   -8  8
but i've be-come 
8    7  -6   7
what I can't be.

7    -8  -8
Stop and stare.
-6   7    -8  8  -8
You start to won-der
7   -6      7
why you're here,
-8   -8
not there.
-6   7     -8
And you'd give
8 -8  7    -6
an-y-thing to
7    -8    -8  7
get what's fai-r,
-6   7    -8    8
but fair ain't what 
-8   7   -6  7 
you real-ly need.
6    6   5   6
Oh, can you see
5   -6  5
what I see?
