[Intro]
G   C   Em   C D
[Verse 1]
I've been lGooking all night watching them empty hEmours
Invisible to these crCowds, always double visionG  
I've been losing my mind listening to broken spEmeech
Stacking up broken sCeats, it's a lonely pictureG  
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hDear your voice as it eCchoes 'round my Emhead
Always that sDame thing that you said -
[Chorus]
   GGet out, get out, while you still cCan
   EmDon't let the night slip through your ChandsD  
   GThe world is wide from where you Cstand, so -
   EmGet out, get Dout while you still CcanD  
Ooh ooGh, ooh ooChEm  C  D  
[Verse 2]
As I'm sGweeping up glass, I see the exit lights so Emgreen
There's people falling into the streetsC, something comes togetherG  
I've been here too long and if I stay, they'll tie me Emdown
I know this chance won't hang arouCnd, so I'm gone foreveGr
[Pre-Chorus]
And I hDear your voice as it eCchoes 'round my Emhead
Always that sDame thing that you said -
[Chorus]
   GGet out, get out, while you still cCan
   EmDon't let the night slip through your ChandsD

[Bridge]
Packing up my sGuitcase, racing down forgotten streets
Making my tEmracks along the cracks in the concrete
Seeing those hCeadlights shining down upon my feet
If you fGind me, you will find me on the run
For all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round the stubborn cards
I've seen the clEmeaner glass, I've seen the faster cars
And I don't need your hCeavy hours, I don't need your lonely bars
I'm ejGected like a bullet from a gun
So take your final look at me, maybe even take my hand
Stay on the stairEmcase, come and chase the master plan
Long way to gCet away, play it like a grand slam
This is no eGncore, we have only just begun
[Chorus]
 GSo get out, get out, while you still Ccan
   EmDon't let the night slip through your ChandsD  
   GThe world is wide from where you Cstand, so -
   EmGet out, get Dout while you still CcanD  
Ooh ooGh, ooh oEmoh, ooh oCoh, yeah-Geah
Ooh ooGh, ooh oEmoh, ooh oCoh, yeah-Geah

Packing up my suitcase, racing down forgotten streets

Making my tracks along the cracks in the concrete

Seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet

If you find me, you will find me on the run

For all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round the stubborn cards

I've seen the cleaner glass, I've seen the faster cars

And I don't need your heavy hours, I don't need your lonely bars

I'm ejected like a bullet from a gun

So take your final look at me, maybe even take my hand

Stay on the staircase, come and chase the master plan

Long way to get away, play it like a grand slam

This is no encore, we have only just begun

[Chorus]

G C

So get out, get out, while you still can

Don't let the night slip through your hands

The world is wide from where you stand, so -

Em D C D

Get out, get out while you still can

G Em C G

Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, yeah-eah
