[Verse]
Cm G# D# G#
I'm always on the outside looking in
Bb
It's where I've always been
Cm G# D#
But the edge is where all the sparks fly
G#
When the wheel spins
Cm G# D# G#
I swear someone is leaving messages for me
Bb
Under my feet
Cm G# D# G#
In bubblegum on the sidewalks of my street
Cm
On the sidewalks of my street
[Instrumental]
G# Bb
Cm G# Bb
[Verse]
Cm G# D# G#
Deep down I know I should leave the past behind
Bb
Maybe in time
Cm G# D# G#
If only I could learn to let go of the hand that first held mine
[Bridge]
Bb
Took a walk down memory lane
Just to see what still remained
Only to find out just about everything had changed
Cm G# Bb (x2)
[Chorus]
D# Bb Cm G#
We will splinter and we will divide
D# Bb Cm G#
We will disappear to two different sides
D# Bb Cm G#
And I hope that the world in which you find
D# Bb Cm G#
Yourself is better than the one you leave behind
Cm G# D# G# Bb
[Verse]
Cm G# D# G#
One day we'll return and we'll take a look around
Bb
See the me and you of every town
Cm G# D#
The dreamers who are yet to learn
G#
That everyone will try to shoot them down
[Bridge]
Bb
Spilling their guts down the radio wire
Like preaching to the Christmas choir
But they wouldn't piss on you
Even if you were on fire
Cm G# Bb (x4)
[Chorus]
D# Bb Cm G#
We will splinter and we will divide
D# Bb Cm G#
We will disappear to two different sides
D# Bb Cm G#
And I hope that the world in which we find
D# Bb Cm G#
Ourselves returning to is better than the one we left behind
D# Bb Cm G#
Better than the one we left behind
D# Bb Cm G#
Is better than the one we left behind
D# Bb Cm G#
Better than the one we left behind
