[Verse 1]
     Am  Fmaj7             Am
It's not that she walked away

Fmaj7          Am           Fmaj7     Am
    Her world got smaller

Fmaj7           Am
All the usual places

    Fmaj7     Am
The same destinations

 Fmaj7           Am         Fmaj7       C      Em
Only something's changed

     Am   Fmaj7             Am
It's not that she wasn't rewarded

      Fmaj7            Am
With pomegranate afternoons

     Fmaj7        C          Em
And Mingus, Chet Baker and Chess

     Am    Fmaj7      Am
It's not stampeding fortune

    Fmaj7     Am
Or prim affectations

       Fmaj7         C
She's off on her own

     Em
But she knows

Am        Fmaj7           Am
Now is greater than the whole

Fmaj7          Am
       Of the past

     Fmaj7      C        Em
Is greater and now she knows
[Pre-Chorus] Fmaj7 D Fmaj7 D [Chorus]
Am        C       G        G
She just wants to be somewhere

Am        C       G        G
She just wants to be

Am        C       G        G
She just wants to be somewhere

Am        C       G
She just wants to be
[Verse 2]
     Am   Fmaj7     Am       Fmaj7
It's not that the transparency

        Am     Fmaj7       Am
Of her earlier incarnations

Fmaj7             Am       Fmaj7
   Now looked back on

         C         Em
Weren't rich and loaded

Am      Fmaj7       Am
       With beautiful

Fmaj7      Am       Fmaj7
  vulnerability

     C        Em
And now she knows

Now is greater

And she knows that

She just wants to be somewhere

Am        C       G
She just wants to be

[Verse 3]
   Am             Fmaj7
It's not like if angels

       Am           Fmaj7
Could truly look down

 Am             Fmaj7
Stir up the trappings

     Am             Fmaj7
And light on the ground

   Am             Fmaj7
Remind us of what

   Am           Fmaj7
when, why or who

     Am            Fmaj7
That how's up to us

   Am         Fmaj7
   Me and you

     Am      Fmaj7            Am
And now is greater than the whole

Fmaj7           Am
       Of the past

    Fmaj7        C        Em
Is greater and now she knows that
[Outro] Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7 Am Fmaj7
Am        Fmaj7
Now she knows
Am Fmaj7 (repeat until end)
