Tom: B
B
One night we lay beside each other, so close to a sweat
With two fans circling overhead, we sleep on borrowed time
C#
And the traffic lights direct empty roads, the stars can't break the city
E
sky. But they still try despite what they know is already true
B
And tomorrow we'll take aim just like a storm waiting for a calm
C#
I can feel everything coming, in my chest my heart's already pounding
E
My head's on far off highways, 16 years old, on a road that never ends
F
Might drive into something that looks like a sunset
It lasts forever, and I never look back
B
From Hoboken to L.A.
C#
From Portland to Gainesville
E
From the Great Plains to Niagra
F#
From Route 66 Straight to California
B
C#
Electric lights carry the night
C#
We move in 4/4 time
E
On feet, on wheels, and in the sky
F#
Yes, we're going cause we'd die if we stayed here
B
And those dying dreams will carry what's good
C#
And real and pure
E
F#
And the rest can burn in hell
B
And for the 4 year old girl found dead in a dumpster, shot by her mother,
her eulogy is the sound of construction through head to head traffic.
C#
Today is just another day. And me and my friends are just growing into the
E
drunks and the liars that we've always hated. Every shortcoming has trapped
B
us, every mistake is now our own infinite failure. So steal every chance we
C#
get, every advantage is taken when no one's looking. Well hidden behind closed doors
and we won't stop untill we are people that we've decided we
E
should be. I wanna be a shot heard around the world, fuckin' unstoppable.
F#
This distance is not something we'll regret. Between here and now and then and today
and forever and days after that till the very end.
