VERSE 1:
EE Piano Chord 

There's a breakdown on the runway,  And the timeless flights are gone
DD Piano Chord 
          AA Piano Chord 
                         EE Piano Chord 

I'm a year ahead of myself these days,  And I'm locomotive strong
EE Piano Chord 

My city spread like cannon fire  In a yellow nervous state
DD Piano Chord 
    AA Piano Chord 
                     EE Piano Chord 

I can't cut the ties that bind me  To horoscopes and fate

CHORUS:
D/AD/A Piano Chord 
   AA Piano Chord 
           D/AD/A Piano Chord 
   AA Piano Chord 

And I won't break and I won't bend
D/AD/A Piano Chord 
     AA Piano Chord 
          EE Piano Chord 

But someday soon we'll sail away
BB Piano Chord 
         B7B7 Piano Chord 
             EE Piano Chord 
      E7E7 Piano Chord 

To innocence and the bitter end
D/AD/A Piano Chord 
   AA Piano Chord 
           D/AD/A Piano Chord 
   AA Piano Chord 

And I won't break and I won't bend
D/AD/A Piano Chord 
  AA Piano Chord 
         EE Piano Chord 

And with the last breath we ever take
BB Piano Chord 
               B7B7 Piano Chord 
          AA Piano Chord 
      EE Piano Chord 

We're gonna get back to the simple life again

VERSE 2:
When we break out of this blindfold  I'm gonna take you from this place
Until we're free from this ball and chain  I'm still hard behind the eight
My city beats like hammered steel  On a shallow cruel rock
If we could walk proud after midnight  We'd never have to stop
