[Verse]

Along for the ride or just watching the time

The spirit of the one constant thread

Policing yourself, a lifelong pursuit

Hanging on to the ring of the bell

[Chorus]

And it's out on the town

Dsus2

The world spins around

Cadd9

And the rules we'd rather forget

It's not what we're here for

Dsus2

So dear to die for

Cadd9 G

Believe it's worth saving yet

[Instrumental]

G Cadd9

[Verse]

City sounds, a life of their own

Never found any other way

Not to preach or teach

Not good at either one

There's a space that shines in the sun

[Chorus]

Then it's out on the town

Dsus2

The world spins around

Cadd9

In step with the best intention

It is what we're here for

Dsus2

So dear to die for

Cadd9 G

Count me in your direction
