===================================================================== [Intro] G C G Gsus4 (x2) [Verse 1]
G                    C                   G   C G  Gsus4
  Things are getting just a-too cosy for me

G                D                  G   C G  Gsus4
  I'm not seeing people as they see me

G              C               G     C6 G  G/F# Em
  Gonna break away and gain control

                                  D*
You free your mind, you free your soul

G           C                       G    C G              Gsus4
  I was the type who knocked at old men      (history's easy)

G                 D                    G     C   G           Gsus4
  Who together at tables sit and drink beer (somewhere is really)

G                 C                G     C6 G  G/F# Em
  Then I saw that I was really the same,

                                      D*
So this link's breaking away from the chain
[Chorus]
              G
Away from the numbers,

Am              C
  Away from the numbers

                   D* D7sus4  D*
Is where I'm gonna be

              G
Away from the numbers,

Am              C
  Away from the numbers

D*             G
  Is where I am free
[Bridge 1]
Cm   Cm7  A7sus4 A
Ooh, ooh, ooh,   ooh

Em*  A    D* Dsus4 D* Dsus2 D*
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
[Chorus]
           G                         Am
Away from the numbers (away from the numbers)

              C*               D*
Away from the numbers (ooh-ooh-ooh)

                   G
Is where I'm gonna be
[Bridge 2]
Am                                  G      C* G  F# F
  I was sick and tired of my little niche

                                        D*
I'm gonna break away and find what life is
C* / D* (x2) Dsus4 D6 D [Verse 2]
G               C                       G        C  G          Gsus4
  And all those fools I thought were my friends (coasting is easy)

G                D                     G        C G           Gsus4
  They now stare at me and don't see a thing (rea-lity's so hard)

G                   C                      G     C6 G  G/F# Em
 'Til their life is over and they start to moan

                                            D*
How they've never had the chance to make it good
[Chorus]
              G
Away from the numbers,

Am              C*
  Away from the numbers

                   D*  D7  D
Is where I'm gonna be

              G                      Am
Away from the numbers (away from the numbers)

              C       D
Away from the numbers

              G                D
Is where I am free    (ooh-ooh-ooh)

              G                D
Is where I am free    (ooh-ooh-ooh)

                   G           D
Is where I'm gonna be (ooh-ooh-ooh)

          G                    G
It's reality          (ooh-ooh-ooh)
