 C#         F#
I've got a life
          G#
out there somewhere
     A#m
it's waiting
 C#         F#
Lined with palmtrees
    A#m       C#
and only new faces
 C#         F#
If I could look past
     G#         A#m
the present and get there
 C#       F#
Well baby it's worth the
A#m C#
shot

Just enough time to plan an escape route
I put my map on the wall in the basement
Not quite a victory to run from your problems
But it's the only plan that I got
It's the only plan that I got

Chorus:
F#          C#
And if you try to
         G#  A#m   Fm
find me now (oh oh oh oh)
F#             C#
I'm in all the echoes
           G#
that have faded out
  F#           G#
So  I'm moving on cause I
     A#m      G# 
just want to feel for
C#         C#   F#
once that I   belong
     G#
And that's what's going
 C#  F# G#
on     that's
       A#m    C#  F# G# C#
what's going on

Crossed the state line and called out a warning
Not too long now, I'll breathe California
Paid my dues and I tried to be loyal
But now I'm done with all that

Where I'm going is everyone's story
We want, you left, we're left to start over
It's not a question of who are we really
It's who we want to be

Chorus:
And if you try to find me now
(Oh-oh-oh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So, I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on

A#m        F#    C#
All that's in between a
          A#m      F#     C#
brand new life and I this time
    A#m               G#
But time has not been kind
              C#       C# 
It's not been kind to me
     F#
it’s winding backwards
A#m               G#
Time has not been kind
              F#
it’s crawling by so slowly!

Chorus:
And if you try to find me now
(Oh-oh-oh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So, I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on
And if you try to find me now
(Oh-oh-oh)
I'm in all the echoes that have faded out
So, I'm moving on
'Cause I just want to feel for once that I belong
And that's what's going on
