G
Growing strong
The voice of my father said
D/F#
Don't give up, don't be forgotten
Em7
This hell on earth
                  C9
I just wanna run away

G
They told me dreams don't grow from here
D/F#
Stay alone, count your fears
Em7                                      C9
Somewhere down the line I might figure it out

Am
Singing all my songs
Em
To bedroom mirrors
Em7                            C9
Deep inside my heart I'm still here

G                      G
We're always running away
                                  D/F#
And we don't even stop to think about it
                    Em7
The world's in our hands, yeah
 C9
They don't need to understand
 G
We do it in our own way
                    D/F#
No matter what they try to say about it
                  Em7
We've got our own plans, yeah
 C9
They don't need to understand
 C9
OOH OOH OOH OOH
 G
They don't need to understand
 C9
OOH OOH OOH OOH

G
It may be tough, almost killed me
    D/F#
At least that's how I'll remember the story
Em7                                   C9
Over the years I've forgotten how it was

G
But I survived and I won't walk down
D/F#
The same old road that they all followed
Em7                                    C9
It only leads to a life not meant for me

Am
Singing all my songs
Em
To bedroom mirrors
Em7                      C9
Deep inside my heart I'm here

                      G
We're always running away
                                  D/F#

We've got our own plans, yeah
 C9
They don't need to understand

Am
Streets of my hometown
Seem strange now
 Em
They feel like a distant memory
 Am
I'm always fine 'cause I know you're trying
 C9
But you can never take this dream from me

                    G
We're always running away
                                  D/F#
