Verse:
G
Bm
This is goodbye
C
After months of situating
Am C G
I can finally leave this sorry town behind
Bm
And I'm alright
C
When they ask for me
Am
My friends can smile and tell the world
C G
That I survived
Bm
As I'm about to leave
C
I fill a million empty pages
Am C G
Pass my word and do my best to sing
Bm
So what do I need
C
To show what could become of those
Am C G
Who think and talk and live like me
Chorus:
C Am
I don't want to die today
G C
I want to live and love and write it down
Am
I can live a life of dreams
G
And be grateful I'm around
Verse:
This is goodbye
After months of careful planning
I can finally leave this dried up town behind
And I'm alright
Yeah, this used to be our city
This used to be our only light
Chorus:
I just want to walk away
I want to write but there's a consequence
That all my friends read everything I do and I say
I don't need to reign supreme
All I need are sounds of ecstasy
And I won't die today
Yeah, I'll be living, loving, writing down
And I'll live a life of dreams
And be grateful I'm around
so i've tried to give it a try. i'm pretty sure this is correct.
