  It ain't hard to get lost When you forget Where you come from
/C#       D                           A
Turn that dial to the right Push that pedal down
              E              D           A       E
Don't say goodbye Just for a drive Along for the ride

A                                E              F#m
  It'd be real nice just to fly away And escape everything
           D                            A
But little bird looks like you've got a broken wing

Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak
       D          E       A       D F#m E D
But it sure won't make me believe

D                                           A
    It's hell you say and it gets worse you know
              E                                       Bm
How many more days am I gonna wake up when there's no place I wanna go?
/C#     D                                          A
If that sunshine's really gonna kill us all why is every day so cold?
       E                     D              A     E
Why is everything so fucking cold? It never melts away


A                                E              F#m
  It'd be real nice just to fly away And escape everything

       D          E         Bm
But it sure won't make me believe

           D           A                            Bm
That's the top of your lungs and the bottom of your heart
            D           A                                Bm
It's at the top of your lungs It's at the bottom of your heart
     C#m   D       Bm         A  E   A (palm muted)
It's at as deep as your heart goes

A                              E                                     F#m
  I understand the things that keep you up And I know that you still feel
                         D                                  A
And I know your heart is hemorrhaging You need some time to heal
                                 E                                   F#m
And now the traffic lights there on your street flash yellow all the time
                      D                                      C#m
And the mirror in the bathroom It looks cracked in the wrong light
             D
But walk out through your threshold
  A                    E                 D
Through your lungs and move on down the stairs
F#m            E                    A              D                  Bm E
   And let the things you love come back to you in time we'll all get there

A                                E              F#m
  It'd be real nice just to fly away And escape everything
           D                            A
But little bird looks like you've got a broken wing
                E                           F#m
Now anything so easy, it might not make you weak
       D          E         A
