[Verse]
                    F#
Take everything you know and write it on your skin

                  C#
And you can carry on and forget everything

                    B                       F#
Take everything you own and put it in your car

               C#
You can drive away, drive away so far,

                B                            F#
And drive into a lake and take off all your clothes,

                   C#
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone

                      B                       F#
But you've got all you know written on your skin,

                 C#
So you can carry on and forget everything
[Pre-Chorus]
F#                 B         F#
All the things I'd rather be,

                  B         F#
All the things I'd rather be
[Chorus]
F#                                     Ebm
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here

    B            F#
I can, only leave
[Verse]
                    F#
Take everything you know and write it on your skin

                  C#
And you can carry on and forget everything

                    B                      F#
Take everything you own and put it in your car

               C#
You can drive away, drive away so far,

                B                            F#
And drive into a lake and take off all your clothes,

                   C#
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone

                      B                      F#
But you've got all you know written on your skin,

                 C#
So you can carry on and forget everything
[Pre-Chorus]
F#                 B         F#
All the things I'd rather be,

                  B         F#
All the things I'd rather be
[Chorus]
F#                                     Ebm
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here

    B            F#
I can, only leave

F#                                     Ebm
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here

    B            F#
I can, only leave
[Bridge]
F#                                 C#
Life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off

    F#                                 C#
And life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off

     F#                                              C#
- Let's start again -
And life feels like a music box - start again -, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off - let's start again -
     F#                                             C#
And life feels like a music box - start again - I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off
[Chorus]
F#                                     Ebm
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here

    B            F#
I can, only leave

F#                                     Ebm
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here

    B            F#
I can, only leave
[Outro]
F#                         B            F#
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here.
