C C C
What happened to the great escape
C C
We've ended up on a merry go round
C C
Now all we have are shadows on the wall
C
We could have had it all
[Refrain]
Dm C
When did life get in the way
G
Striking matches in the rain
Dm C
Now there's only me and you
G
Living on this dead end avenue
[Chorus]
Am C
Why don't we get away
F
Out of this town
Am C
Shake all those yesterday's
F
They're dragging us down
Am C F
There's nothing left round here for you and I
D5 Eb5 E5
All the signs
Am C F
Tell me to get away
Am C F
We should just get away
[Verse]
C C C
What happened to the love we made
C C
We used to give it all
[Refrain]
Dm C
So when did life get in the way
G
Throwing water on the flames
Dm C
Now there's only me and you
G
Living on this dead end avenue
[Chorus]
Am C
Why don't we get away
F
Out of this town
Am C
Shake all those yesterday's
F
They're dragging us down
Am C F
There's nothing left round here for you and I
D5 Eb5 E5
All the signs
Am C F
Tell me to get away
D5 Eb5 E5
So why don’t we get away
[Adlib]
Am C F (4x)
[Chorus]
Am C
Why don't we get away
F
Out of this town
Am C
Shake all those yesterday's
F
They're dragging us down
Am C F
There's nothing left round here for you and I
D5 Eb5 E5
All the signs
D5 Eb5
Tell me to get away
Am C F Am
We should just get away
