      C# 
I'm staring at the clock
    F#                      G#
I'm wondering why I'm still here
        C# 
And my head's about to pop
     F#                          G#
I'm thinking that you best stay clear

    C# 
Oh How did I get stuck in this
   F#
predicament I don't know
G#
I wanna throw this
reputation out the window
 C# 
I'm getting tired of
F#                      G#
wondering why I'm still here

And I wish that
       F#
I could  snap
my finger make
myself disappear
G#
Snap my finger
get myself outta here
F#
Snap my fingers
                G#
snap my fingers oh-oh

Chorus:
                  C#
Cause I rather be anywhere else
F#            G#
anywhere else anywhere else but here
                  C#
Cause I rather be anywhere else
F#            G#
anywhere else anywhere else but here
           C#
I could be catching the waves
           F#
I could be seeing the world
           G#
I could be riding with the
top down kissing my girl
                  C#
Cause I rather be anywhere else
F#            G#
anywhere else anywhere else but here

The sun is coming up, don't wanna get out of bed
Well here we go again, I'm back to where I began
Oh, you can take my checkbook
Credit cards and keep them
I'd give them up just for a little bit of freedom
And my escape, I'm planning it in my head

And I wish that I could
Snap my fingers, make myself disappear
Snap my fingers, get myself out of here
Snap my fingers, snap my fingers, oh, oh

Chorus

F#
No more bus stops
sitting in traffic
G#
Waking up in 6
in the morning
ain't gonna happen
F#
No more office
No more line-ups
F#
You can just forget
about it we want freedom
C#        F#       G#
  (We want, we want, we want)
We want freedom
C#        F#       G#
  (We want, we want, we want)

Chorus:
And I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here

I could be catching a wave
I could be seeing the world
I could be riding with the top down, kissing my girl
I could be slipping it in
I could be living it up
I could be sitting at home not giving a fuck!

Could be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
I'd rather be anywhere else, anywhere else
Anywhere else but here
Anywhere else but here
Anywhere else but here
