Capo 3 :)
Cadd9We stared at the ground and thought aGbout the divide 
The gates were locked, the shades were drawn from curious eyes 
And we knew where we were headed, straight for nowhere at all 
We'd take a left just south of somewhere - hoped we didn't get lost 
Cadd9And we knew we were Ggonna get lost 
But on the way we found something else 
We found ourselves 
Cadd9We found ourselves amidst a circumstantial cGhange in routine 
Caught up in this night, and crossing property lines 
Cause we knew they wouldn't get it, funny how they forget 
AmAuthority's complacency, the generation's time machine 
Cadd9We knew we were Ggonna get caught 
But on the way we found something else 
We found ourselves 
Cadd9We found ourselves without giving a damn Gabout the divide 
Threw away our fear of falling and started our climb 
Forgot the sound of consequence and played to the risk 
CSometimes you have to risk it Emall C  Em  
Cadd9We found ourselves without giving a damn Gabout the divide 
Sacrificed our fear of failure, laid our hearts on the line 
If we could keep the kind of courage we found within us that night 
AmWe'd blame it on naiveté, suburban liabilities 
Cadd9We knew we were Ggonna get lost 
But on the way we found something else 
We found ourselves

Cadd9

Capo 3 :)

Cadd9 G

We stared at the ground and thought about the divide

The gates were locked, the shades were drawn from curious eyes

And we knew where we were headed, straight for nowhere at all

We'd take a left just south of somewhere - hoped we didn't get lost

Cadd9 G

And we knew we were gonna get lost

But on the way we found something else

We found ourselves

Cadd9 G

We found ourselves amidst a circumstantial change in routine

Caught up in this night, and crossing property lines

Cause we knew they wouldn't get it, funny how they forget

Authority's complacency, the generation's time machine

Cadd9 G

We knew we were gonna get caught

But on the way we found something else

We found ourselves

Cadd9 G

We found ourselves without giving a damn about the divide

Threw away our fear of falling and started our climb

Forgot the sound of consequence and played to the risk

C Em C Em

Sometimes you have to risk it all

Cadd9 G

We found ourselves without giving a damn about the divide

Sacrificed our fear of failure, laid our hearts on the line

If we could keep the kind of courage we found within us that night

We'd blame it on naiveté, suburban liabilities

Cadd9 G

We knew we were gonna get lost

But on the way we found something else

We found ourselves
