 F#m                     D
Tonight we're letting go, under the burning glow
A                         E
We're too young to hold this all on our own
F#m                   D
All that came and went riding them by the winds
A                           E
Blowing through the trees, you could feel it on
her skin

Walking the lost streets, no one ever shares
Cry yourself to sleep, waiting on a little prayer
Bags are by the door
Hearts are on the floor
There's a bottle full of tears on the dresser drawer

F#m                D
Nobody knows the trouble we've seen
 A                 E
Nobody knows the price of this dream
F#m                       D
And nobody knows what it took to believe, nobody.

Chorus:
                  A  E        C#m              D
She wants to be free, like a runaway, hey hey hey
             A    E      C#m                   D
Trying to believe, gonna find a way, hey hey hey hey
        A        Bm                  D
We got just one life, tonight we're running
         E
all the lights
                  A    Bm     D               E
Trying to break free, like a runaway hey hey hey hey
hey

The road below our wheels,
all that we fought to heal
You close your eyes and cry,
dying for the right to feel
I hear it coming down
Oh, the sweetest sound
Of forgotten tears fallin' on the solid ground

Nobody know the trouble we seen and
Nobody know the price of this dream and
Nobody knows what it took to believe
Nobody

Chorus:
She wants to be free
Like a runaway, ay, ay, ay
Tryna' believe
Gonna find a way, ay, ay, ay, ay
We got just one life
Tonight we're running all the lights
Tryna' break free
Like a runaway, ay, ay, ay, ay

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
We're singing, "How did we get this far
Riding on a shooting star?"
It's like flying on the wings of God

Chorus:
She wants to be free
Like a runaway, ay, ay, ay
Tryna' believe
Gonna find a way, ay, ay, ay, ay
We got just one life tonight
We're running all the lights
Tryna' break free
Like a runaway, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
