  G
I sometimes lose my faith in luck

                                            Em
I don't know what I wanna be when I grow up

        C               D                            Dsus4   G
I just count the rain, wearing the floor through the boards again

  G
I wish I could find a soul to steal

                                         Em
I could be the engine, you could be the wheel

              C                   D                       Dsus4  G
and we could drive it home, and never have to worry about being alone
[Chorus]
C                G
Oooh, follow my tracks

D                                Dsus4 G
See all the times I should have turned back

C              G
Oooh, I wept alone

D                               Dsus4 G
I know what it means to be on my own

Em                      C
Oooh, the things I've known

D                               Dsus4 G
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home

Em                    C
Oooh, the seeds I've sown

D                 Dsus4 G
  Taking the hard way home

D                 Dsus4 G
  Taking the hard way home
[Verse 2]
  G
I never did learn how to follow the rules

                                                 Em
I never was good at sleeping while the moon was full

        C             D                       Dsus4 G
I just lie and burn, wreck my mind while the planet turns

  G
I sometimes wish I could start again

                                               Em
I'd try and do the right thing every now and then

     C              D                           Dsus4     G
I'd step in line, that's what I'd do if I could turn back time
[Chorus]
C                G
Oooh, follow my tracks

D                                Dsus4 G
See all the times I should have turned back

C              G
Oooh, I wept alone

D                               Dsus4 G
I know what it means to be on my own

Em                      C
Oooh, the things I've known

D                               Dsus4 G

  G
I tell you how I wanna live

                                         Em     
Forget about the take, forget about the give

         C                D                 Dsus4   G   
I wanna leave this town, fake my death and never be found
