(Verse) 

C                     Em 
I am in love and I am lost 
        F                     C 
But I'd rather be broken than empty 
        F                        C 
Oh, I'd rather be shattered than hollow 
        Am        G          F  
Oh, I'd    rather be by your   side 

(Pre-Chorus) 

      Am      G               F             
Now I can't believe that it's been five years 
         Am         G             F 
Since we both stood here, looking out at this city 
     Am       G        F 
With minds so bold and hearts so clear 
         Am              G          F 
We said, we are going to get out of   here 
         Am              G          F 
We said, we are going to get out of   here 

 
Am   G   F 
We...        are going to get out of here, run from all the fears 
Am   G   F                                                   Am    G   F 
Follow       what we once held dear, when will we get out of here? 

(Verse) 

    C                  Em 
Now I am tired but resolute 
         F                       C 
That I'd rather be striving than settled 
        F                     C 
Oh, I'd rather be moving than static 
        Am        G          F  
Oh, I'd    rather be by your   side 

(Pre Chorus) 

      Am      G                  F 
Now I can't believe that it will be so long 
        Am       G             F   
Till we both are here, looking out at this city 
Am      G           F 
Knowing all we ever wanted is gone 

 
Am   G   F 
We...        are going to get out of here, run from all the fears 
Am   G   F                                                   Am    G   F 
Follow       what we once held dear, when will we get out of here? 

(Middle 8) 
C               Em 
Time, time is a fickle thing 
               F                      C         G 
Let's see what it can bring, I cannot leave you behind 
C                    Em 
Time, time's running out my hands 
           F                    C         G  
Oh give me your hands, I cannot leave you behind 


Am   G   F 
We...        are going to get out of here, run from all the fears 
Am   G   F                                                   Am    G   F 
Follow       what we once held dear, when will we get out of here? 

         Am              G          F 
We said, we are going to get out of   here 
         Am              G          F          C 
We said, we are going to get out of   here
