[Verse]
Em          D/F#
 Like a bird upon release
Em                  D/F#
 Through the atmosphere
Em               D/F#
 Like a honking flock of geese
Em               D/F#
 Winter drawing near
Em               D/F#
 As the fabric comes unstitched
Em                   D/F#
 Hearts and minds and eyes bewitched
Em                D/F#             Em          D/F#
 Standing watching for the smoke to clear

[Chorus]
G              D/F#     C/G     Am
 First chance I get I’m gone

[Verse]
Em              D/F#
 Moses had his tablets yeah
Em             D/F#
 Noah had his ark
Em            D/F#
 All I got’s a haystack needle
Em                D/F#
 Stabbing in the dark
Em                     D/F#
 Anguished cries and old footfalls
Em              D/F#
 Permeate these paper walls
Em                 D/F#           Em          D/F#
 Need some action all you get is talk

[Chorus]
G                D/F#
  First chance I get
    C/G            Am
I’m gone I’m outta here
G              D/F#
  First chance I get
    C/G            Am
I’m gone I’m outta here

[Verse]
Em                  D/F#
 Here’s one for the boys back home yeah
Em                   D/F#
 Here’s one for your spokes
Em                 D/F#
 A little taste of victory
Em                    D/F#
 To send back to your folks
Em                  D/F#
 Here’s one for the fireside
Em                     D/F#
The grinning groom the blushing bride
Em                   D/F#          Em              D/F#
 Come and feast your eyes upon the hoax
 
[Chorus]
G                D/F#
  First chance I get
    C/G            Am
I’m gone I’m outta here
G              D/F#
  First chance I get
    C/G            Am
I’m gone I’m outta here

[Verse]
Em           D/F#
 Over Lake Superior
Em              D/F#
 And the Arctic Sea
Em                  D/F#
Through the dark interior
Em               D/F#
 The stolen territory
Em                D/F#
 Want it with the cream on top
Em                 D/F#
 One more lifetime swallowed up
Em                  D/F#              Em           D/F#
 He’ll be back yeah just you wait and see
