Chords for Sally Eidman - "Gotta Get Out" from ORDINARY DAYS by Adam Gwon

_ Hello.
Alright, so you guys, this past week was a really, really special week,
because it's my dad's birthday week!
_ I know, very fun.
And I've been thinking a lot this past week about my parents and where I come from
and their influence on my life, and something that I think is pretty major
is the fact that both of them grew up in Texas.
And so they have this really strong Southern [F] influence on my life.
And what that does to me in one respect [Cm] is it makes me incredibly overly friendly.
So since I've come to New York, I [Bb] still [Ab] smile at everyone on the street,
[B] which is I [G] guess a no-go here.
[N] And whether you're my roommate or the person [Ebm] next to me in the grocery line,
we're [C] going to have [Fm] a conversation.
[N] So sometimes, most of the time I feel like that flies,
and it's pretty cool with the person on the other end of the conversation,
but sometimes I take it a little too far. _
_ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
[D] _ [E] _ [G] _ [Gb] _ [N] _ [D] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ I'm usually inclined to take up [Fm] conversations with a taxi [F] driver.
[Dm] What I saw as I was walking on those taxis were [C] passengers in [B] constant circulation,
[Em] without [A] a destination.
[C] And that's not what life should [A] be about, so we're going [G] to get out,
cross the bridge, take a road to another state.
We'll sit back through the noise and the traffic and wait for [C] some kind of seat.
We'll change the way that the view from [G] our windows is strange.
[Dm] Trust me, I'm not crazy, and I can see you picking [C] faces in the [Bbm] rearview [F] mirror.
[Dm] I will pay you what the meter says, just driving [C] up the highway.
I don't care [B] how far the way [Em] is.
I guess what I'm [A] trying to [B] say is, [C] in the bike [D] lane_
_ [Ab] _ [F] _ [G] [F] What?
[G] _ [Dm] I weren't you listening.
I don't know where [G] to.
You're the [Dm] professional.
You should be making these kinds of decisions.
[F] I am really not a person [Dm] who is qualified [F] to tell you where we should be going.
[Dm] I mean, I just love my boyfriend standing out there on the [C] sidewalk,
which is bad enough [B] without just losing.
[Em] He was [A] actually proposing.
[C] That's it.
There [D] isn't any doubt.
[G]
[C] I'll cross the bridge, make a [G] turn, let his taxi speed.
Because there isn't a thing in this world that I need [C] more than someplace on Earth.
I can be clear, [G] probably [Cm] miles and [Eb] miles from [Em] here.
I don't mean to [A] spreak and I don't mean to [C] shout.
[G] _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [F] _
[C] I can't stay [G] here [D] anymore.
I just [Em] gotta get out.
[F] _
[C] I still [D] don't really know what [G] I_ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Fm] I [C] should come near him and Christ feel happy.
But [G] it's like something's changed [Cm] inside [G] of my [C] DNA.
Just [Eb] want to tell him that I'm lost and [F] that I'm frightened.
But something's there [C] that smothers all the words I want to say.
[G] _
[C] So how can I be what makes him happy?
I [Bb] can't even [F] make a promise [C] that I will stay.
_ [F] I've gotten used to keeping all this space between us.
_ And [C] he looks [Em] right [F] at me.
_ [N] _ _ _
I want to run [E] away. _ _ _
_ [Em] [Gbm] So I gotta get [G] out.
[D] Cause the only [A] thing to [E] do is to get [Gbm] myself [G] _ [D] out.
And accept the [E] fact we [D] won't [Dbm] get far.
[D] Stay [E] where [B] _
_ [E] _ [A] _ [E] [N] you [A] are.
[N] _ _
