The Great Escape (acoustic)
D Bm
today might be the day you might make a change
D Bm
lock yourself indoors and plan a getaway
D Bm
take a walk outside in the heavy weather
D Bm
the British summertime's just great forever
D Bm
join a local gang and get a cool nickname
D Bm
make your lifelong sweetheart your ball and chain
D Bm
convert your self belief to a new religion
D Bm
or leave the TV on, make a decision when you're
Bm D G
waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else
Bm D G
waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else
D Bm
go put your last 5 pounds on the lottery
D Bm
if you're not in it to win it then you won't receive
D Bm
then place all your winnings on an outsider
D Bm
if it wins you'll be grinning and you can celebrate
D Bm
six months of our lives are at a red light
D Bm
but there's a thousand chances to get it right
D Bm
So put your foot in the door cos it's free admission
D Bm
I'll leave the TV on, they've gotta ? you when ya
Bm D G
waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else
Bm D G
waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else
D Bm
Rip away your ties and find a new squeeze
Show a local scheme your generosity
Stand back in the shadows and be a right hand man
Buy a brand new semi next door to the Taliban
Who knows what's around the bend
Stay up get drunk with all your best friends
Celebrate your side to a new division
Leave the TV on, make a decision when you're
waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else
waiting for the day you're not looking for something else, for something else

today might be the day you might make a change
