Gm
Take me out of this state I'm in
A#
Go somewhere I've never been
Dm
Got something trapped inside
  C
Still alive, where's that paradise?

I thought by now I'd find
Rough justice is a long lifeline
Back and forth between the desert and the sea
Who I was and I will always be

Chorus:
F C            Dm
(Oh yeah, woo-hoo!)
F C            Dm
(Too bad, woo-hoo!)
F C
(So sad, woo-hoo!)

Get me out of this state I'm in
When I spiral down, it's a vile spin
Got something I can't hide
Still alive, it's an overwhelming drive
To prevail and get out of this jail
Dust in my eyes and a tear in my sail

Back and forth between the desert and the sea
Who I was and I will always be

Chorus

Take me out 'cause I'm all alone
Hair undone, despair unknown
Got something trapped inside
Still alive, it's a momentary ride
I've been on a thousand years too long
A thousand years too late for
everything that's wrong

Back and forth between the desert and the sea
Who I was and I will always be

Chorus

Oh yeah, woo-hoo
Oh yeah, woo-hoo
Oh yeah, woo-hoo
