Straight Ahead

F                       B
Well when she got the grade
                        F
She took her first real breath
                 C               
As a person without a single damn 
        F
care left
                       B
Put a note in her phone
                    F
In double bold and red:
                    G              
“Everything that I need is 
   C           F
somewhere straight ahead”
B                   C         F
Oh, it’s somewhere straight ahead

  B  C

F
Soon when the fuse was lit
B                     F
She tied a few loose ends
                       C
Certain people she loved
                        F
And just a few fake friеnds
                          B        
On the morning she left, shе left a
           F
 text on read
       Dm        Gm          
“Everybody I need is somewhere 
    C         F
straight ahead

  B  C


[Chorus]

       F                   B
'Cause I don’t wanna live for the 
summer
G             F
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
              F
I just think I’m better off leaving
F                   B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                 F      N.C.
I just think I’m better off leaving”

F                     B          
Two years to the day, she had it 
            F
all worked out
                     C         
Wrote a couple of novels people 
          F
wrote about
                      B            
Captivated the strangers at the 
      F
bars uptown
           Dm      Gm          
Thinking “nobody here could ever 
    C      F
slow me down
 B                   C       F
Nah, they couldn’t slow me down”

   B  C

               F
And when the thought occurred
                 B
She bought the house she earned
              F                    
She started looking into venues for
   C
 July the third
             F                     
She wants a west coast wedding with
    B
 a mind like hers
            F        Dm           
Before she puts a reminder in her 
  Gm
phone
      C                  F
To remind her that she knows
       Dm           Gm
“I can do it on my own
       C
I can do it 'cause


[Chorus]

F               B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             F
I just wanna live where I wanna
F               B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                F
I just think I’m better off leaving
F               B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F               B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                F
I just think I’m better off leaving”


[Bridge]

F    B    Gm    F  C
F    B    Gm    F

F       B              Gm
      She’s off the ground
 F
She won’t look down
 B          Gm
She made a vow
 F
Don’t stop her now
    B                 Gm
The things that she wills
         C                F
Become things that she builds
    B              Gm
So don’t stop her now

[Verse 3]

F                  B             
 When she saw the movie all about
      Fm
 her life
                        C        
Well she noticed some things they 
                    F
didn’t get quite right
                         B
Cause they added mistakes and cut 
her best damn nights
Gm                     G     C
Everybody who knew it sent a goddamn
 text
F                    B
“Did you tell them to do it so it 
makes more sense?”
Gm
She was staring straight ahead
          G
Took her time and said:


[Chorus]

 F               B
“I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             F          C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                  F
I just think I’m better off leaving
F               B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                  C
I just think I’m better off leaving”
