Intro: (D D F G)   

D       D      F          G  
All I see is not for me.   
D          D             F            G   
What I want you have not got.   
D                        D                               F                     G   
Tried to use the things you sold me, no matter what the cost   
D                       D                           F                      G   
Tried to go the way you told me, but each time, I got lost   
        F                       G   
The stairs didn’t lead me anywhere!   
D                      C               F                F   
I’m taking the fire escape up to the roof.   
D                           C                F                    G   
Don’t care if it’s not the way you find the truth.   
D   
Time to make this right: to rise above.   

This room and all of you   
Who say I should do like you would   
Tried to live the life you sold me, no matter what the cost.   
Tried to walk the way you told me, but each time I got lost   
The stairs didn’t lead me anywhere!   

D                      C               F                F   
I’m taking the fire escape up to the roof.   
D                           C                F                    G   
Don’t care if it’s not the way you find the truth.   
D                       C                    F                       G  
And when I get up that high, I don’t know what I’ll find   
D                           C                      F                  G                          F        G  
But I’d rather look at the sky than wonder why I let you take my time   
D
