I'll G#never forget when we started out
A beat of the drum, a face in the crowd  
It's C#better this way, it's better this way
How far we've come now not a soul can change
RemG#ember the road running under our feet
We'd shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees
It's C#better this way, it's better this way
Gambling with life it was our turn to play
It's tG#ime 
Only when you look forward can you see behC#ind? 
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
G#Every trial and every test
We'd drive to the East and we'd fly to the West
Just rC#unning away, just running away
We can be different 'cause they're all the same
G#Every night that we'd ever start
In every beat of every heart
Is C#running way, just running away
Catching our breath at the end we could say
It's G#time
Only when you look forward can you see behiC#nd?
Every taste we could get was just sweet subG#lime
Holding on to the moment we let go alC#ive
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
FmDay after day in the light
We're gC#lowing in the dark
G#Standing was the sketch
Where D#falling wasn't hard
We Fmlost ourselves to find 
We're sC#omewhere down the line 
It's tG#ime
FmDay after day in the light
We're gC#lowing in the dark
G#Standing was the sketch
Where D#falling wasn't hard
We Fmlost ourselves to find 
We're sC#omewhere down the line 
It's G#time
For G#some it's a God, for me it's a fact
We C#make a mistake and try taking one back
It's G#better this way, it's better this way
C#Out of the grind and then into the grave
It's G#time
Only when you look forward can you see behiC#nd?
Every taste we could get was just sweet subG#lime
Holding on to the moment we let go alC#ive
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride G#

I'll never forget when we started out

A beat of the drum, a face in the crowd

It's better this way, it's better this way

How far we've come now not a soul can change

Remember the road running under our feet

We'd shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees

It's better this way, it's better this way

Gambling with life it was our turn to play

It's time

Only when you look forward can you see behind?

We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride

Every trial and every test

We'd drive to the East and we'd fly to the West

Just running away, just running away

We can be different 'cause they're all the same

Every night that we'd ever start

In every beat of every heart

Is running way, just running away

Catching our breath at the end we could say

It's time

Only when you look forward can you see behind?

Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime

Holding on to the moment we let go alive

We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride

Day after day in the light

We're glowing in the dark

Standing was the sketch

Where falling wasn't hard

We lost ourselves to find

We're somewhere down the line

It's time

Day after day in the light

We're glowing in the dark

Standing was the sketch

Where falling wasn't hard

We lost ourselves to find

We're somewhere down the line

It's time

For some it's a God, for me it's a fact

We make a mistake and try taking one back

It's better this way, it's better this way

Out of the grind and then into the grave

It's time

Only when you look forward can you see behind?

Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime

Holding on to the moment we let go alive

We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
