Intro: D  F#m 

D 
Here is the quick rundown, we've been here before 
D 
It's best not to wander far 'cause we've been here before 
                G                          A 
And we couldn't find a way out when we were here the first time 
         G                          A                         Dmaj7 
Now it's lines we're leaving behind, lines we're leaving behind 

verse 1 
D 
   Didn't choose what we mean 
G                     A        D 
   Just moved along the quiet way 
D 
There were rules once back when 
G                       A 
   There should be rules again 

            D            G            D 
Here is the quick rundown: we've been here before 
D                           G                 D 
It's best not to wander far 'cause we've been here before 
                G                           A 
And we couldn't find a way out when we were here the first time 
         G                           A                        Dmaj7 
Now it's lines we're leaving behind, lines we're leaving behind 

Bridge 
G                 A                 Dmaj7 
      And, oh, to leave them behind 
G                  A                Dmaj7 
       And gold to trade for my life 

verse 2 
D 
When we end up again 
G                 A            D 
  The gods of bad parties reign 
D 
Chased by invasion lights 
G                A 
  'Round the same block again 

D                           G            D 
So here is the quick rundown: we've been here before 
D                          G                  D 
It's best not to wander far 'cause we've been here before 
                G                           A 
And we couldn't find a way out when we were here the first time 
         G                           A                          Dmaj7 
Now it's lines we're leaving behind, lines we're leaving behind 
         G                           A                          Dmaj7 
Now it's lines we're leaving behind, lines we're leaving behind
