[Verse]
      G                            D

                     G
right on past eighty-third street
                      D

[Chorus]
Em         C              G           D
so give it up, throw your hats in the air
    Em                   C                     G      D
and change just as they land you're saying "we'll get out of here"

[Verse]
        G
so the stairs that you could climb
         D
were the ones you've left behind and your
G                                    D
eyes light up when we talk about the past
      G
god i miss the songs we used to sing
        D
talking like getting away would be the greatest thing
     G
well me, i got out and you kept singing to me
D
 like its really gonna set this free

[Chorus]
Em         C              G           D

G        Em                D
 like a ghost, you've been haunting all these dusty old roads
    G              Em                 D
and old homes, the ones we swore we'd never go. we'll never go

             G

G                                        D
 sometimes i, i just cant sleep thinking of everything we could have been so

[Chorus]
Em         C              G           D
