     C              G 
When all else fails   I'll
                    F
just assume I'm overtired
            C              G 
But I'll go tooth and nail   to
                      F
find a way to stay inspired
            C
She's got a beautiful mind
       G
but my heart strings are bending
F
How could I enter a maze with
          F
no ending? There's more to me
             G
than where I came from, so

Chorus:
C G Am Em       F
I'm   running away from the
Em        F          G
days that made me unstable
C   G  Am Em       F
And I'm   taking a chance on
    Em       F      G
the lesson I learned It's
    C   G Am          Em
that whoa you got the best
     F    Em     F
of me But no you won't
            G
take what's left of me
C  G  Am Em       F
So I'm   running away I'm
Em       F
running away from
        G
you and me

The piece that's missing
is buried underneath the ground, you see
If this is temporary,
I don't wanna lie to myself anymore
Well baby, I'm breaking out of this upstate town
I'm steering away from the safe and sound
There's more to me than where I came from, so

Chorus

                   Em F   Am G
I always wanted to be somebody
           Em F Am G      Em
That makes everybody feel like
F   Am G      Em       F
somebody I'm sorry to say I
Am              G
don't love you more than
   F       G
myself No need to cry for help
