[Verse 1]
G Am C/B Cadd2
I was up in my room
G
when you heard me sing
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G
I was strumming a chord on my six string
G Am C/B Cadd2 G
you saw how I took to that guitar
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G
but words of ad - vice you’d not done so far
Gmaj7/F# C
you said: see how I work my fingers to the bone
D Am G
and there’s no chords in ‘em when I come home
Gmaj7/F# C
so boy if you don’t wanna be like me
D Am G
start writing down everything you see
[Chorus 1]
G Am C/B Cadd2 C/B G
gooooooooooooo somewhere
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G
don’t leave a trail to come back here
G Am C/B Cadd2 C/B G
gooooooooooooo now, run
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G Am G
don’t fol - low me, go out and be someone
[Verse 2]
G Am C/B Cadd2
so I found a place
G
deep in the woods
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G
and I saw my face in that neighbourhood
G Am C/B Cadd2
and I’d lay there at night
G
as the coyotes howled
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G
I’d think a - bout you and say “look at me now”
Gmaj7/F# C
wherever I went I felt alone
D Am G
so I’d write about people to keep me warm
Gmaj7/F#
and I make a living
C
I pay my bills
D Am G
and I’m gonna be someone someday I will…
[Chorus 2]
G Am C/B Cadd2 C/B G
gooooooooooooo somewhere
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G
don’t leave a trail to come back here
G Am C/B Cadd2 C/B G
gooooooooooooo now, run
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G Am G
don’t fol - low me, go out and be someone

[Verse 3]
G Am C/B Cadd2
well then you got sick
G
you told your son
C/B Cadd2 C/B D D Am G
in your chest, in your heart, in your throat, in your lungs
G Am C/B Cadd2 G
said you caught it from songs you never sung
C/B Cadd2 C/B D
how they stuck to your insides
Am G
to the walls they clung
Gmaj7/F# C
you said: get em out! Show everyone
G D Am G
the things that I told you when you were young
Gmaj7/F# C
and never hide nothin’ from anyone
D Am G
let em out, let em out, let em out and be done
[Chorus 3]
G Am C/B Cadd2 C/B G
gooooooooooooo somewhere
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G
don’t leave a trail to come back here
G Am C/B Cadd2 C/B G
gooooooooooooo now, run
C/B Cadd2 C/B D Am G Am G
don’t fol - low me, go out and be someone
