verse 1: 
           G                                     Em 
I've been looking all night watching them empty hours 
                     C                           G 
Invisible to these crowds, always double vision 
                                               Em 
I've been losing my mind listening to broken speech 
                    C                            G 
Stacking up broken seats, it's a lonely picture 


Pre-Chorus 
       D                     C               Em 
And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head 
             D 
Always that same thing that you said - 



G                                     C 
   Get out, get out, while you still can 
Em                                       C        D 
   Don't let the night slip through your hands 
G                                   C 
   The world is wide from where you stand, so - 
Em              D                   C        D 
   Get out, get out while you still can 
      G        C       Em       C  D 
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh 

verse 2:                                            
        G                                          Em 
As I'm sweeping up glass, I see the exit lights so green 
                                       C                         G 
There's people falling into the streets, something comes together 
                                                      Em 
I've been here too long and if I stay, they'll tie me down 
                                  C                     G 
I know this chance won't hang around, so I'm gone forever 


Pre-Chorus 
       D                     C               Em 
And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head 
             D 
Always that same thing that you said - 



G                                     C 
   Get out, get out, while you still can 
Em                                       C        D 
   Don't let the night slip through your hands 
G                                   C 
   The world is wide from where you stand, so - 
Em              D                   C        D 
   Get out, get out while you still can 
      G       Em       C        G 
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, yeah-eah

Bridge: 
               G 
Packing up my suitcase, racing down forgotten streets 
           Em 
Making my tracks along the cracks in the concrete 
              C 
Seeing those headlights shining down upon my feet 
        G 
If you find me, you will find me on the run 

For all the bleeding hearts pushing 'round the stubborn cards 
                Em 
I've seen the cleaner glass, I've seen the faster cars 
                       C 
And I don't need your heavy hours, I don't need your lonely bars 
      G 
I'm ejected like a bullet from a gun 

So take your final look at me, maybe even take my hand 
                 Em 
Stay on the staircase, come and chase the master plan 
             C 
Long way to get away, play it like a grand slam 
            G 
This is no encore, we have only just begun 



G                                     C 
 So get out, get out, while you still can 
Em                                       C        D 
   Don't let the night slip through your hands 
G                                   C 
   The world is wide from where you stand, so - 
Em              D                   C        D 
   Get out, get out while you still can 
      G       Em       C        G 
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, yeah-eah 
      G       Em       C        G 
Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, yeah-eah
