   Ebm                    Bbm                    C#              Fm
   I didn't even bother sleeping... I was in the air before the sun
   Ebm                     Bbm             C#                            Ab         
   Nobody knew that I was leaving... And nobody's gonna notice that I'm gone
   Ebm                E              
   Nobody waiting on the other side... 
           Abm                    B               A      Abm
   Just a baggage carousel and an expensive taxi ride...


   Ebm                        Bbm                       C#                        Fm     
   I've never felt like I was running... Just standing still while the world went by
   Ebm                         Bbm                 C#                           Ab              
   So if you never could catch up to me... Then perhaps it's because you never tried
   Ebm                           E                  
   I pulled all the punches when push came to shove... 
           Abm                      B            A    Abm
   No, you never really knew what I was capable of...


   Ebm                         Bbm               C#                 Fm
   I think that you enjoy your power... And you never want to be outdone
   Ebm                         Bbm                       C#                      Ab
   It's a high that's not from taking a pill... But from knowing that you've got one
        Ebm                        E                         
   Well baby, I've been high, and baby, I've been low...
        Abm                             B              A       Abm
   But lately I'm just tired and trying not to let it show...


   Ebm                Bbm                 C#                   Fm
   I say a prayer every night... From the foot of whatever bed I'm in
   Ebm                     Bbm                                  C#                  Ab
   I ain't hoping for some voice from the clouds... No, I don't hope for much of anything
       Ebm                           E
   The planets in their courses, the continental drift...
          Abm                           B                 A      Abm
   I just hope I settle soon before the plates begin to shift...


   Ebm                                 Bbm                          C#                           Fm     
   I'd like to think that there's some point to this... That every ending's just another twist of fate
   Ebm                            Bbm                 C#             Ab               
   I'd like to think time's never wasted... And that love is never a mistake
       Ebm                       E                         
   But you weren't a lesson and you weren't a phase...
          Abm                     B            A      Abm      
   Just a lonely inkblot across my very barest page...

        Fm                                         Gm     
   I've seen a lot of things and I've come a long way
          Ab                                 Bb
