Polished my shoes, [Gm] I bought a brand new hat, moved [Bb] to a town that [F] time forgot
Where I don't have to shave or be [Gm] approachable, no I [Bb] can do just what [C] I want
[Gm] I wanna walk in the [C] howling wind, till [F] it scatters all [Bb] my thoughts
[Gm] Sit all alone on [C] that riverbank, till I [F] forget that I can't [Bb] talk
[C] Just [F] listen
They say everyone [Gm] has a choice to make to [Bb] be loved or to be [F] free
Told you once I [Gm] felt invisible and [Bb] I'm sure by now you [C] see
[Gm] That what I meant is [C] I'm not away [F] until I finally [Bb] leave
Some [Gm] loneliness [C] is acceptable, [F] some's just out [Bb] like me
[G] It gets [C]
[F] even
I'll
[Bb] rise [C] up the garden wall, [F] build a ladder towards [Bb] the sun
It can't be climbed [C] by who's gonna mind if [F] I claim it can be [Bb] done
[C]
[F] Illumination
And the sun goes down, [C]
all the stars come [Dm] out
[Gm] In the distance I have felt, [C] I can see it for myself [F] now
Boarded a train to take [Gm] my memories back, [Bb] make up for time that I [F] have lost
I'll never know if [Gm] I'm delusional, I [Bb] just believe that I [C] am not
I'm [Gm] gonna work for [C] my sanity, [F] give it everything I've [Bb] got
[Gm] Though so far I [C] have cheated death, I [F] know someday I'll get [Bb] caught
Just [C]
[F] living
So
[Bb] here we go [C] man, it's beautiful, [F] get your trumpet, get your [Bb] drum
Keeping time [C] in the second line, [F] it can make you feel so [Bb] young
I know you say you'll [C] go all the way, [F] that's not quite far [Bb] enough
Someone [Gm] told [C] me that same thing, [Gm] someone told [C] me that same thing
[Gm] Someone told me that [C] exact same thing [F] once
[C]
[E] [A] Why [E] not [A] do what [E] I've got [Gb] to do?
