Milow – Houdini (Guitar)

    C
As long as I remember

            F
I’ve been learning to escape

   C
I lock myself in places

    G
Situations I can’t change

       Am
I feel older than my age is

         Em
They say I’m too young to know

  F
Tomorrow’s my 10th birthday

              G
I’ll take my BMX and go

           C
I’ll be a master of illusion

         F
And live by the honor code

     C
I’ll do my work in private

          G
And I’ll keep my secrets close

     Am
I’m sick of all the grownups

        Em
And how everybody lies

       F
Don’t ever underestimate

   G
A kid with seven lives

      C            F
Break away like Houdini

 Am                            G
While there’s still some mystery

   F                Am
Tomorrow you won’t see me

        C    G   Am   G    F
By the time you find this tape

           C       Am    G F
I’ll have made my great escape

      C
They put me in these boxes

         F
With too many locks to pick

 C
Running out of breath is how

   G
I lost life number six

       Am
But I know I’m getting better

         Em
I’ll do anything to survive

        F
And I think I kind of like life

        G
Number five

       C           F
Break away like Houdini

Am                            G
While there’s still some mystery

  F                 Am
Tomorrow you won’t see me

        C    G   Am  G     F
By the time you find this tape

          C        Am   G  F
I’ll have made my great escape

     C
I’m out here on my own now

         G
With no family or friends

 Am
Chains I can get out of

      Em
It’s love I don’t understand

    F
I guess there’s only so much

  G
Escaping you can do

     C
And just like that

    F                  C
I burned lives four to two

        C          F
Break away like Houdini

 Am                           G
While there’s still some mystery

   F                Am
Tomorrow you won’t see me

        C    G   Am   G    F
By the time you find this tape

           C       Am   G  F
I’ll have made my great escape

     C
I’m older now and wondering

 F
Why I wanted to get out

       C
So I found that tape and listened

       G
To me saying the words out loud

     Am
I’m sure I can’t remember

    Em
What I kept running to

        F
What I made them think was magic

 G
Wasn’t true

    C
So gone is all the glamour

     F
The crowds, the mystery

        C
For my final trick I’ll tell you

         G
How life up here looks to me

       Am
Even someone like Houdini

       Em
Never really got away

   F
I guess I’m outta lives now

           G
I wish I cherished every day

         F
When you only have one life

              G           C
You better cherish every day
