Intro: G C G C
G C
We were getting tired of not living to the letter,
G C
And yet not knowing how to do it that much better,
Am D
I was feeling awful all the time,
Am D
She was never really on my mind.
G C
I know you'll soon decide that it's time to be a-leaving,
G C
To begin the search for something worthwhile to believe in,
Am D
The frustration of now knowing what it is,
Am D
Yet knowing you need more than cash to live.
G C
You said don't you ever feel like human beings are a virus,
G C
And if god loved the earth he'd do his best to sterilize us,
Am D
For I know the worlds a complex place to be,
Am D
But don't become a cynical as me.
G C
A thousand pop songs say that life's a never ending highway,
G C
And if you're young you'd close your eyes floor the car and drive it,
Am D
But I know that for every open road,
Am D
You see a door that's just waiting to close.
G C
Please just follow the people who love life enough to use it,
G C
Use their eyes to see the earth, their hearts to make the music,
Am D
Who love the world so very much it hurts,
Am D
Turn that love into a chorus and a verse.
C
You see, its for you I write this song like it's the one to close the album,
G C
But here I thought I’d finish before this drizzle was a downpour,
Am D
But please refrain, this aint Manchester,
Am D
No, if you close your eyes you could be anywhere.

G C Am D
