[Intro]
 Em   D   C   Cx2
[Verse 1]
  [Leo]
I hopEme some night you'll be reDading off this page
Can you heCar me in the street light breathing out your name?
A daEmrk emotion left me broken tiDed around my head
TieCd so tight there's not a feeling left
MayEmbe I should leave to reach a stDate of inner peace
I knCow that it is hard understanding you and me
Our faEmmily is broken, our famDily is gone
I'm wCriting this letter to tell I can't carry on
  [Charlie]
  EmBy the time we mDeet again
It Cmay not be me, my friend
  EmI'll be somDeone elseC  
  [Leo (Charlie)]
HeEmart so shattered that I can haDrdly sleep
The only Ctime I see your face is invested in a dream
I trEmy to forget you, insiDde I am torn (I'll be someone else)
                             CN.C.
Although you are heart broken I am heart broken more
[Chorus]
  [Charlie]
I'm gonna buy a Gfast car
A new faEmst car
And I'll Bmdrive drive dCrive drive
Fast Gcar
And I'Emm never coming bBmack again 
I'm gonna buy a fGast car
A new faEmst car
And I'll Bmdrive drive dCrive drive
Fast Gcar
And I'Emm never coming bBmack again
[Verse 2]
  [Leo]
MayEmbe I can open up and tDell you what is on my mind
BCetter things are coming, I don't want to bring you down this time
In Ema room that's adjacent
I feDlt the soft placement of your Cpalms on the wall
Your nails trace a new life
Somewhere Emoutside this bitter tasting Dhome
Where we can forget this lCife and its amplifying tone
Is this Emwhere I belong
Is Dthis the right path
I wCish that I could stay but I'm not coming back
  [Charlie]
 EmBy the time we mDeet again
 CIt may not be me, my friend
  EmI'll be Dsomeone Celse
[Leo (Charlie)]
EmThere is no way to take Dback my actions
ECverything is marred, smeared into the blackness
ThEme deadness of the wind and the wDhispering moon (I'll be someone else)
                            CN.C.
If there is a heaven I will see you there soon
[Chorus]
  [Charlie]
I'm gonna buy a Gfast car
A new faEmst car
And I'll Bmdrive drive dCrive drive
Fast Gcar
And I'Emm never coming bBmack again 
I'm gonna buy a fGast car
A new faEmst car
And I'll Bmdrive drive dCrive drive
Fast Gcar
And I'Emm never coming bBmack again

[Verse 1]

[Leo]

Em D

I hope some night you'll be reading off this page

Can you hear me in the street light breathing out your name?

Em D

A dark emotion left me broken tied around my head

Tied so tight there's not a feeling left

Em D

Maybe I should leave to reach a state of inner peace

I know that it is hard understanding you and me

Our family is broken, our family is gone

I'm writing this letter to tell I can't carry on

By the time we meet again

It may not be me, my friend

I'll be someone else

Heart so shattered that I can hardly sleep

Maybe I can open up and tell you what is on my mind

Better things are coming, I don't want to bring you down this time

In a room that's adjacent

D C

I felt the soft placement of your palms on the wall

Your nails trace a new life

Em D

Somewhere outside this bitter tasting home

Where we can forget this life and its amplifying tone

Is this where I belong

Is this the right path

I wish that I could stay but I'm not coming back

[Charlie]

By the time we meet again

It may not be me, my friend

Em D C

I'll be someone else
