[Verse]
"GI don't know where I'm going Cbut I'm going anyways"D  
SGo you leave the apartment, gCrab the gun under the bDed
AmI want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see
GWant to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet
AmI want to feel the way my father felt, is it easier for me?
GI want to know if there's a higher love oblivious to me
[Chorus]
 Am   Gx2
[Verse]
GSo you walk in the grocery aCnd you unload several rDounds
G"Don't you dare move a musclCe," cardboard cutout adDs
AmI want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see
GWant to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet
AmI want to feel the way your father felt, was it easy for belief?
GI want to know if there's a higher love he saw that I can't see
[Pre-Chorus]
DLooking back, it's obvious now
AmYou believe him or you don't
[Chorus]
 Am   Gx2
[Verse]
GSo you load up your pistol aCnd you press it to your Dlips
GAnd you squeeze on the triggCer, all it does is clicDks
AmI want to reach above the para-blind where nobody could see
GWant to hold a light to paradise and see if I could sleep
AmI want to feel the way our fathers felt when it swept them off their feet
GI want to know about that higher love you saw that can't be seen
[Pre-Chorus]
DThe only obvious equation,
Amyou believe it or you don't
[Bridge]
GI've been trying to find the right way to get Amout of here
GI've been trying to find the right way to get Amout of here
CThis is the Gonly Dway to Amgo

[Intro]

Am G

[Verse]

G C D

"I don't know where I'm going but I'm going anyways"

G C D

So you leave the apartment, grab the gun under the bed

I want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see

Want to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet

I want to feel the way my father felt, is it easier for me?

I want to know if there's a higher love oblivious to me

[Chorus]

Am G

[Verse]

G C D

So you walk in the grocery and you unload several rounds

G C D

"Don't you dare move a muscle," cardboard cutout ads

I want to reach above the paradox where nobody can see

Want to hold a light to paradigm and strip it to its feet

I want to feel the way your father felt, was it easy for belief?

I want to know if there's a higher love he saw that I can't see

[Pre-Chorus]

Looking back, it's obvious now

You believe him or you don't

[Chorus]

Am G

[Verse]

G C D

So you load up your pistol and you press it to your lips

G C D

And you squeeze on the trigger, all it does is clicks

I want to reach above the para-blind where nobody could see

Want to hold a light to paradise and see if I could sleep

I want to feel the way our fathers felt when it swept them off their feet

I want to know about that higher love you saw that can't be seen

[Pre-Chorus]

The only obvious equation,

you believe it or you don't

[Bridge]

G Am

I've been trying to find the right way to get out of here

G Am

I've been trying to find the right way to get out of here

C G D Am

This is the only way to go

C G D

This is the only way

[Outro]

Am G
