The Great Escape

Intro: Bb Gm (4x)

Bb           Gm               Bb
I can understand how when the 
              Gm
edges are rough
         Bb              Gm       
And they cut you like the tiniest 
             Bb     Gm
slivers of glass
         Eb       Cm
And you feel too much
         Eb        Cm             
And you don't know how long you're
        Bb   Gm  Bb  Gm
 gonna last

                  F            
But everyone you know is tryin' 
   Eb       Bb
smooth it over
Eb            Bb                F
Find a way to make the hurt go away
                  F            
But everyone you know is tryin' 
   Eb       Bb
smooth it over
            Eb         Bb         
Like you're trying to scream under
   F
 water

   Eb9                       Bb  
But I won't let you make the 
F        Eb9
great escape
I'm never gonna watch you checkin' 
Bb   F            Eb9
out of this place

I'm not gonna lose you
           Bb              F
Cause the passion and the pain
           Bb        F       Eb9
Are gonna keep you alive someday

(Bb Gm)(2x)

   Bb              Gm             
I feel like I could wave my fist 
    Bb              Gm
in front of your face
         Bb                 Gm    
And you wouldn't flinch or even 
       Bb    Gm
feel a thing
                             Eb    
And you've retreated to your silent
    Cm
 corner
           Eb         Cm          
Like you decided the fight was 
   Bb     Gm
over for ya

                  F            
But everyone you know is tryin' 
   Eb       Bb
smooth it over
Eb            Bb                F
Find a way to make the hurt go away
                  F            
But everyone you know is tryin' 
   Eb       Bb
smooth it over
Eb         Bb                    
Everyone needs a floor they can 
      F
fall through

   Eb9                       Bb  
But I won't let you make the 
F        Eb9
great escape
I'm never gonna watch you checkin' 
Bb   F           Eb9
out of this place

I'm not gonna lose you
           Bb              F
Cause the passion and the pain
           Bb        F       Eb9
Are gonna keep you alive someday

Gonna keep you alive someday

(Bb Gm)(4x)

Bb                    Gm         
I'm terrified of the dark but not
    Bb          Gm
 if you go with me
Bb                  Gm           
And I won't need a pill to make 
   Bb     Gm
me numb
        Eb                  Cm
And I wrote the book on runnin'
          Eb            Cm     
But that chapter of my life will 
           Bb  Gm  Bb  Gm
soon be done

 F                  Eb Bb
I'm the king of the great escape
F                                  
You're not gonna watch me checkin' 
Eb  Bb          F
out of this place

You're not gonna lose me
           Eb          Bb
Cause the passion and pain
           Eb        Bb       F
Are gonna keep us alive someday

           F
Yeah, the passion and the pain
           Eb9              Bb  
Are gonna keep us alive someday
