(VERSE)

Bm G

I've seen it all before

The people and the bars they're in

It doesn't turn me on no more

It's a place already done and been

Sometimes I gotta take a stand

I gotta act or I won't proceed

Which part of this don't you understand?

Which part of me is hard to read?

(CHORUS)

Em D

It would kill me if I stay here

F# Bm

Maybe kill me if I go

Em D

Rather take the road less traveled

F# Bm

Than the shit I already know

Em D

I had my share of good and bad years

F# Bm

But I just can't stick around

Em D

It would kill me if I stay

F# Bm

Hope you understand me why I'm leaving town

(VERSE)

No motivation here

When everyday is all the same

Bm G

Too much boredom, too much fear

And I'm sick of all this name and shame

I can't take it anymore

Don't like the person I've become

Need a new place to explore

Something different than where I'm from

(CHORUS)

Em D

It would kill me if I stay here

F# Bm

Maybe kill me if I go

Em D

Rather take the road less traveled

F# Bm

Than the shit I already know

Em D

I had my share of good and bad years

But I just can't stick around

Em D

It would kill me if I stay

Hope you understand me, yeah

(BREAK)

But everyone's afraid

Of going backwards to degrade

A F#

Yeah, everyone's afraid of a stranger

(BUILD-UP)

But if we only live life once

Then I've just gotta live mine now

A F# F#

And it's gotta be a life in change, in change

That's why I'm leaving town

(CHORUS)

Bm Em D

It would kill me if I stay here

F# Bm

Maybe kill me if I go

Em D

Rather take the road less traveled

F# Bm

Than the shit I already know

Em D

I had my share of good and bad years

F# Bm

But I just can't stick around

Em D

It would kill me if I stay

F# Bm (End on Bm)

Hope you understand me why I'm leaving town
