G                 Cmaj7/E 
 I would like to leave this city

 This old town don't smell too pretty and

 I can feel the warning signs running around my mind 

G            Cmaj7/E 
 And when I leave this planet 
  G                       Cmaj7/E 
 You know I'd stay but I just can't stand it and 
G       D/F#     Em            A7                Cmaj7/E

 So what do you say?

 You can't give me the dreams that are mine anyway
