[Verse 1]
I'm tFired of dreaming, when all I believe in
Seems Dmfar away, I'm Bbtired of staying
This Ftown has no meaning unless it's us leaving
Pick Dmup today, make Bbour escape
[Verse 2]
There's a Fwhole other world with our names on it, girl
So let's Dmmake our plane 'cause Bblife's a game
There's a Ffork in the road where the ordinary go
We'll make Dmour own way, make Bbour own way
[Pre-Chorus]
With all the Dmplaces Bbleft to Fsee
From old DmLondon Bbto BeiFjing
Watch the Dmsunset Bbhere with Fme
We're living nCow, so let's make this real
[Chorus]
Let's Fgo, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
'Til we Dmkiss the sun, we Bbkiss the sun
Let's Fgo, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

The Fmountains we moved, skies that we flew
Can you Dmhear the sound? I can Bbhear it now
