A
Forget that flaw from back in the days

Our direction veers as we turn the page

We're finally tracking in the path of the groove
      C                     G
We're willingly backing the path of the moon
G
There'll be no more pain
   Bb
We can explain, we found the force, we're back on course


Chorus:
          A
We need a detour (Detour)

Gotta make the detour (Detour)

Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)

 (Detour)


Bridge:
C                                G
Used to say I love you but I was straight insane
   F#m                         Em
I always left you holding the weight of my pain
       F                        G
'Cause I couldn't stay for even one more day
  Bb                           C
I broke two hearts, I couldn't share the parts
            D
Then I ran away


Verse 3:
A
People try to crash right down
A
Shoot at the sky, a craze with rage
A
We're all good people if you go deep down
A
But we gotta be in keeping with the brand new age
D
Time for a detour
D                         D7     D
We gotta take the curve (Detour now)

It's time for a swerve (Detour now)

The world is spinnin'
     A
It's time for a change
   C
We know we ain't winning
      G
We share the wage, we cause no pain
Bb
We can explain, we lost the force, we went off course


Chorus:
                A
Ooh, we need a detour (Detour)
A
Oh, I got to have a detour (Detour)

Oh, with a curve and a swerve (Detour)
