~~ The example above shows the verse, but it can be applied to every other section of the song!
~~ I would recommend muting the higher e-string if you strum the chords, this fits the song better 
   in my opinion.
~~ Tip: It also sounds nice to play a good old Cadd9 in the chorus ;)

EmI don't wanna wait anymore, I'm tired of Glooking for answers
   DTake me some place where there's Emmusic and there's laughter
   EmI don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of liGving too fast, too slow
ReDgret, remorse, hold on, oh no, EmI've gotta go
   EmThere's no starting over, no new beGginnings, time races on
And you just Dgotta keep on keeping onEm  
   EmGotta keep on going, looking Gstraight out on the road - can't worry 'bout
   Dwhat's behind you or what's coming for you Emfurther up the road
   EmI try not to hold on to what is goneG, I try to do right what is wrong
   DI try to keep on keeping onEm  
   GYeah, I just Dkeep on keeping onEm  
[Chorus]
  CI hear a voice Gcalling,   Dcalling out for Emme
