Capo on 4th
(just the live version from "The Big Band Theory Tour", the verion of the CD 
sounds a little bit different. For this you have to put the capo on the 5th, but 
it will sound a bit strange ;))
I gotta rEun,
I gotta hEide,
I can feEel them Eclose behEind.
AI'm not gonna be feDeding them no Emore.
I gotta mEove,
stay in the dark,
         (E)
I gotta lead astray those sharks,
the grAass is green where I'm tDaking this ship right nEow.
I've been dEreaming, yeah dreaA7ming.
AF#ll my life I've been dreBaming I could leave this mess behF#ind,
this time I am waBiting for a chance to say goodbF#ye.

BI gotta go – oAut of this place.
BNo chains I'm bEreaking free for Bgood.
EI gotta run,
I gotta fight,

I'm the captain of my life.
ASailing seas like a dDolphin with no Ehome.
EPurple sunsets and air that I can breathe,
