Verse 1: [play verse tab 4x over 
this]
His first kicking came on January 
1st
They said, "Welcome to the club,
we'll take your shoes and your 
shirt."
He wore his nosebleed like a red 
rosette
And it was a prize he would win 
again and again and again


Break 1: [play Intro tab (line 1)]x2
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, Oh-oh, 
oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
               He had to find an 
escape route

Verse 2: [play verse tab 4x over 
this]
It was a rumour, but it soon became 
true
When he was drunk in the suburbs
with a boy from a different school.
All his good friends soon left him 
for dead
Now he stands staring down at the 
Clyde from a bridge


Break 1: [play Intro tab (line 1)]x2
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, Oh-oh, 
oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh


Chorus 1: [use chorus tabs]
And then he saw an escape route
From the dogs of West Renfrew
From the bitches and bruises
He chose Ohio to run to


Break 1: [play Intro tab (line 1)]x4
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, Oh-oh,

Verse 3: [play Intro (line 1)x1, 
then (line 2)x1, then (line 1)x1, 
then verse 3/4 (line 1)x1]
The name came to him just as he 
perched
On the amber lit bridge, his whole 
face pursed
It had a ring to it in American 
songs
Like a glittering release from a 
crippling curse


Verse 4: [play verse 3/4 tab (line 
2)x4]
He dreamt of the place of a 
cinematic space
And all the pointing fingers they 
just melted away
Who knows, maybe he'll never take 
flight
But he swears Ohio pulled him from 
the bridge that night


Break 1: [play Intro tab (line 1)]x2
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, Oh-oh, 
oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh


Chorus 2: [use chorus tabs]
It became an escape route
From the dogs of West Renfrew
From the bitches and beatings
Midwestern chest to fall into

Bridge:
E                     Ab5
Some are saved by the good arms
A5                    Db5
Some are saved by the church
E                     Ab5
Some get saved by the skin of their 
teeth
A5                                
By the thought that it couldn't 
  Ab5
get much worse
E                    Ab5
Some are saved by professors
A5                Db5
Some are saved by police
E                   Ab5
Some get saved by a distant place
A5               Ab5
By an impossible American dream


Chorus 3: [use chorus tabs]
We all need an escape route
We all need an escape route


Outro chords:
E
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
                     A5
From the punches and kicks
                        E
The fingernails and the pricks
                     Ab5
All the sharp little knives
                       B5
In the dark pockets of life
                     A5
From the bitches and bruises
                   E
From the burden of youth
                        B5
The public hangings and stonings
                    Ab5
Save us from fellow humans
                E
Just give us an escape route
