[Verse 1]
G Em D C
It won’t be long until I finish it all
D Em
Say goodbye to this place and be gone
Bm C Dadd9 G
I’ve been staring at these books for too long
Em D C
And my friends and my family know
D Em
They love me so they say I should go
Bm C Dadd9
But I know they want to keep me at home
[Pre-Chorus]
G Em D C D Em
And so I turn away
Bm C Dadd9
Somehow it´s harder to leave than to stay
G Em D C D Em
And I learned the way
Bm C Dadd9
Through the words that were spoken that day
[Chorus]
G
Go see the world be free
C
Go sing your melody
Em
Go chase your destiny
C
Become the man you’ll be
G
Don’t be afraid to leave
C
Open your eyes and see
Em
Just promise you’ll come back
C G
Come back to me
[Verse 2]
C
So I wake up and follow the sun
Em
Through chaos and wonder I run
C
My hopes and my dreams are now one
G C
I said I travel the world, travel the world, travel the world one day
Em C
And how was I supposed to know the sacrifices would be so great
[Pre-Chorus]
G C Em
And so I turn away
C
Somehow it´s harder to leave than to stay
G C Em
And I learned the way
C Dadd9
Through the words that were spoken that day
[Chorus]
G
Go see the world be free
C
Go sing your melody
Em
Go chase your destiny
C
Become the man you’ll be

Don’t be afraid to leave
C
Open your eyes and see
Em
Just promise you’ll come back
C Dsus4
Come back to me
[Bridge]
Dsus4
We taught you to be strong and honest
C
Listen to your heart don’t ever let nobody tell you how
Dsus4
How you got to handle yours
Dsus4
The days are getting darker and the price is getting harder to pay
C
So won’t you go find your way
Dadd9
We’ll be okay
[Chorus]
G
Go see the world be free
C
Go sing your melody
Em
Go chase your destiny
C
Become the man you’ll be
G
Don’t be afraid to leave
C
Open your eyes and see
Em
Just promise you’ll come back
C G
Come back to me
G
Go see the world be free
C
Go sing your melody
Em
Go chase your destiny
C
Become the man you’ll be
G
Don’t be afraid to leave
C
Open your eyes and see
Em
Just promise you’ll come back
C G C
Come back to me
[Outro]
Em C
Just promise you’ll come back
G C
Come back to me
Em C
Just promise you’ll come back
