[Intro]

G Am F

[Verse 1]

C F

Scraping skies with shirts

and ties and I can

G F

feel you waste away

C F

The bets are long I wanna

get it wrong with you

G F

It's such a goddamn beautiful day.

[Chorus 1]

C G

To hell with red lights driving on

An open cage this bird is gone

But I can't leave this town

if you're not with me

I've been fighting

boredom and routine

I'll trade the white

for forest green

But I can't leave this town if

you're not with me we'll see

[Verse 2]

C F

Crimson skies drinking my oceans dry

Am G F

Not where the salt paints colors grey

It clouds your eyes

F Am

Take what hasn't died with you

G F

I've got a map sleep all the way

[Chorus 2]

C G

To hell with red lights driving on

An open cage this bird is gone

But I can't leave this town

if you're not with me

I've been fighting

boredom and routine

I'll trade the white

for forest green

But I can't leave this town if

you're not with me

[Bridge]

G Am C Am

I'm lost

F Am

I marked a place worth going to

cue the brightest moon

kill the city lights now

The coast is clear

an amazing view

cue the brightest moon

killthe city lights now

We've got your luck

to see us through

cue the brightest moon kill

the city lights now

[Bass Solo]

C Em Am F C Em Am F

We'll keep on running

through the warning signs

It beats sitting

here all the time

And at the crosstown disappear

behind the northern skyline

We'll keep on running

through the warning signs

It beats sitting

here all the time

And at the crosstown disappear
