(verse 1) 
G                      Em 
One of us is gonna be here and 
G                      Em 
One of us is gonna be running 
 G  Em       G          D 
Off alone into the great unknown 
G                        Em 
You're not me, you're a model of freedom 
G                           Em 
All you need are your kicks when you need 'em 
G    Em           G                 D 
Come and go, caught that slow alright 
G 
With one hand off the side 
                           D 
We get farther away in the blink of an eye 


G                    D 
And it's the time we waste 
Em             G 
Swallowed into space 
G                D 
It's the time it takes to blow away 
C 
To blow away 
C 
To blow away 


(verse 2) 
G                         Em 
Hey, hey you, yeah you gotta be leaving, 
G                           Em 
Say what you want, what you say, say anything 
G    Em            G                D 
No one knows just how deep it goes 
G                           Em 
We are old in your teenaged tyranny 
G                           Em 
And all you need is a hunger to feed 
G     Em                            D 
I've got my own secrets though, say what? 
G 
With a heart full of mess and lore 
                          D 
We are doomed but we wanted more 


G              D 
It's the ride we take 
Em               G 
The many winged escape 
G                 D       C 
It's the bough we break to blow away 
C 
To blow away 
C           G 
And we blow away 

One of us is now retreating 
You knocked me down so hard I'm seeing a thousand stars 
Come out where you are 
'Cause I won't ever be caught crying 
And I will not be taken lying down 
It blows into smoke 

It's the ride we take 
The many winged escape 
It's the bough we break to blow away 
To blow away 
And we blow away
