We'll have to F#face 
another Bone
And figure C#out what 
               Ebm  F#/Bb

us to both start new
And the Bworst thing I'd

--------

Verse 1:

B C#

Now that the hardest

Ebm

part is done

We'll have to face

another one

And figure out what

Ebm F# Bb

we'll both do and where

B C#

Each offer seems to promise

Ebm F#

new ways to separate us both

And I don't care what others

C# F#

think is best I can't

just watch you go

Refrain:

If we can stick together

C# C#

(hold)

we'll never be alone

Chorus:

We'll run away

Just leave this place

Ebm G#m

If you're here next

I'd rather be

So we'll start tonight

Just leave behind

Ebm G#m

the lives we used to

know and venture out

to make it on our own

F# B Ebm C#

Post Chorus: --------

Verse 2:

It'll just be

C# Ebm

harder if we wait

More settled in

with every day

It makes more sense for

Ebm F# Bb

us to both start new

And the worst thing I'd

C# Ebm

imagine is to be stuck

like this at home

B C#

And it might be rough

at first but we'll have

stories when we're old

(Repeat Refrain)

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

If things

start to break

we'll pack up and

Settle down again

working out we'll just

take a different route

Outro:

F# B

Make it find another way

Won't you stop and

Ebm

take this place

for the lives we used to know

F# B

Make it find another way

Won't you stop and

Ebm

take this place

for the lives we used to know

(hold)
