GThese city limit signs
Are keeping me inside
Like pEmrison walls
That wCon't fall Gdown

GI said that I would leave
A year ago this week
But my Emheartstrings
They're still Ctied to this Gground
[Pre-chorus]
CBut I'm still the same as I Gwas
EmBut I wish that I was gGone
[Verse 3]
GI lost another friend to the war again
A Emprison with a Cpretty Gface
GHe said it would be fine, but I said just give it time
And now he's sEmleeping with those Cchoices that he Gmade
[Pre-chorus]
CBut I'm still the same as I Gwas
EmBut I wish that I was Ggone
GI was gone
[Chorus]
EmI thought GI would Embe somewhere else by Cnow
I thought GI would Embe someone else by Cnow
I thought GI would Embe somewhere else by Anow
But I'm Cnot
[Verse 4]
GI'm doing what I love
While you're doing what you're told
I Emknow its safe, but I Cbet that's getting Gold
[Verse 5]
GSo take your blinders off, and see what you got
And Emreach out and Cjust take Ghold
EmReach out and Cjust take Ghold
EmReach out and Cjust take Ghold

[Verse 1]

These city limit signs

Are keeping me inside

Like prison walls

C G

That won't fall down

[Verse 2]

I said that I would leave

A year ago this week

But my heartstrings

C G

They're still tied to this ground

[Pre-chorus]

C G

But I'm still the same as I was

Em G

But I wish that I was gone

[Verse 3]

I lost another friend to the war again

Em C G

A prison with a pretty face

He said it would be fine, but I said just give it time

Em C G

And now he's sleeping with those choices that he made

[Pre-chorus]

C G

But I'm still the same as I was

Em G

But I wish that I was gone

I was gone

[Chorus]

Em G Em C

I thought I would be somewhere else by now

G Em C

I thought I would be someone else by now

G Em A

I thought I would be somewhere else by now

But I'm not

[Verse 4]

I'm doing what I love

While you're doing what you're told

Em C G

I know its safe, but I bet that's getting old

[Verse 5]

So take your blinders off, and see what you got

Em C G

And reach out and just take hold

Em C G

Reach out and just take hold

Em C G

Reach out and just take hold
