Intro 
G  G/F#  Em  D (x2) 
 
G           G/F#     Em 
I'm heading for the other side 
           D               G 
Where the light is always right 
G                    G/F#      Em 
Where we don't have all these heavy plights 
          D          G 
And the loving overrides 
                       G/F#       Em 
And tho' I'm told this time will never come 
  D           G 
I want it anyhow 
           G/F#        Em 
I'm going towards the better life 
          D           G    G/F# 
And I'm ready for it now 

verse 1: 
Em            D          G    G/F# 
Pent up like water in a dam 
Em           D           G    G/F# 
Angry like heavy metal songs 
Em              D                  G  G/F# 
Messed up like all this news of guns 
Em                D 
That like to get drawn 

G           G/F#     Em 
I'm heading for the other side 
           D               G 
Where the light is always right 
G                    G/F#      Em 
Where we don't have all these heavy plights 
          D          G 
And the loving overrides 
                       G/F#       Em 
And tho' I'm told this time will never come 
  D           G 
I want it anyhow 
           G/F#        Em 
I'm going towards the better life 
          D           G    G/F# 
And I'm ready for it now 

verse 2: 

Em          D                G   G/F# 
Seeing the problems here at hand 
Em              D                G     G/F# 
Caught up with useless news and posts 
Em            D              G     G/F# 
Helpless and feeling like a ghost 
Em            D 
Wearing nice clothes 

Bridge 
Am         D 
In these modern times 
G                    Am 
where we're disconnected from 
           D 
Ourselves and this land 
G                       Am 
And we're always on the run 
        D              G              Am 
Can we turn about and notice what we are? 
                      C/G   Am C/G  G 
Living beings in the stars 

G           G/F#     Em 
I'm heading for the other side 
           D               G 
Where the light is always right 
G                    G/F#      Em 
Where we don't have all these heavy plights 
          D          G 
And the loving overrides 
                       G/F#       Em 
And tho' I'm told this time will never come 
  D           G 
I want it anyhow 
           G/F#        Em 
I'm going towards the better life 
          D           G    G/F# 
And I'm ready for it now
