Intro: E,Eb5,C#m,B,A,B,E  E

1st verse:

E
Let’s make this complicated
C#m
Thinking is overrated
A
We’re busting out
        B
Of this sh*tty little town
E
Green grass and colored lenses
C#m
Tear down these picket fences
A
Burn in our beds
          B
While the city lies sleeping
 

Chorus:

A      B
Why oh why
       E        Eb5    C#m   B
Are we starting up and going down
A     B
My oh my
         Eb5    C#m   B
Just the two of us in Nothingtown
    A         B
Our superhero play
      Ab5             C#m
We’ll leave this town today
B       A               B               E       C#m E B
Hold on tighter with my lighter shining through
 

2nd verse

E
These city streets are burning
C#m
Rose red your wheels are turning
A
Make me believe
        B
Someday we could really leave
E 
Blindfold a new direction
C#m
Stop asking better questions
A
Don’t figure out
           B
That we’re never getting out
 

Chorus 2:

Why oh why

My oh my

Just the two of us in Nothingtown

We’ll leave this town today
B        A             B
And I’ll row it if you steer it
     A              B
I’ll yell until you hear it
        A               B               E       C#m E B
Hold on tighter with my lighter shining through

Just the two of us in Nothingtown

Our dreams get in the way
B        A             B
And I’ll row it if you steer it
