[Verse 1]
EmC
I could give it all if you'd take me
G
(I could give it all if you'd take me)
EmC
To when I was a kid in the backseat
Em
(I just wanna hold somebody)
D
Driven down a road in the country
C
(Far away, far away, far away)
D
I'd want to grow
So I could take a ride in the front seat
C
(Take a ride in the front seat)
[Verse 2]
EmC
Never knew that time would escape me
G
(Never knew that time would escape me)
EmC
I could give it all just to break free
EmD
I want to know, If I could find the door and the jail key
C
(Far away, far away, far away)
D
Then I could grow
C
Outside of the walls that contain mе
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
That's why
C
Right now, I gotta go
G
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
EmC
Too late, I'm getting old
EmD
Cliffsidе's coming, I'll be driving over the edge
C
I want to be somebody
D
(Be somebody, be somebody, be somebody)
C
I want to hold someone
[Chorus]
EmC
When I grow, when I'm free
GEmC
When the scars that fill my body prove that I'm me
EmDC
In my withdrawal, when I'm weak at my knees
(Far away, far away, far away)
DC
If wise, I'll know that probably I'll be fine
Em
You hear it all the time
[Verse 2]
CG
Think of what you took for granted
EmC
Think of what you got that you wanted
EmD
'Cause when it goes and you can't replace it
C
You know it's precious, not to waste it
DC
Be grateful, you gotta be grateful
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
That's why
C
Right now, I gotta go
G
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
EmC
Too late, I'm getting old
EmD
Cliffside's coming, I'll be driving over the edge
I want to be somebody
C
(Far away, far away, far away)
DC
I want to hold someone
[Chorus]
EmC
When I grow, when I'm free
GEmC
When the scars that fill my body prove that I'm me
EmDC
In my withdrawal, when I'm weak at my knees
(Far away, far away, far away)
DC
If wise, I'll know that probably I'll be fine
Em
You hear it all the time
[Bridge]
C
How life's been moving fast
GEm
That it's just passing by
C
Running reds and beaming bright
EmD
Time don't give a damn
C
If we're broke and fading white
DC
I never knew that life could move so fast
[Outro]
Em
That's why
C
Right now, I gotta go
G
Driving so fast yet I'm moving so slow
EmC
Too late, I'm getting old
EmD
Cliffside's coming, I'll be driving over the edge
C
I want to hold someone
DC
I want to be somebody
