[Verse 1]
     F                   Am
This strip mall town has got me down
   C          Dm              F
A lonely populated shade of grey
              Am            C     Dm
And they're expecting me to stay
 F                  Am
"A" through "Z" the blacktop streets
  C                  Dm              F
Repeat the patterns we’ve all seen before
             Am           C      Dm
It's getting harder to ignore


[Pre Chorus]
F                         C      G
This won't be the last time I’ll be here


[Chorus]
F                   Am
I want to drive far away with you
                 C                    Dm           F
I know that it's nothing new, but we feel it every time
    F                          Am
For all my life I felt like my hands were tied
             C             Dm         F
I'm dying to feel alive if only for tonight


[Verse 2]
     F                 Am
Each time we pass the District line
    C             Dm             F
And make our way along the interstate
           Am                 C      Dm
I feel the pressure start to fade
    F                 Am
The sun goes down, we hear the sound
   C                    Dm              F
Of Springsteen singing "we were born to run"
     Am                 C       Dm
Well baby, we're still young


[Pre Chorus]
F                           C        G
This won't be the last time I'll be here
F                      C        G
I know that I can't outrun the fear


[Chorus]
F                   Am
I want to drive far away with you
                 C                    Dm           F
I know that it's nothing new, but we feel it every time
    F                          Am
For all my life I felt like my hands were tied
             C             Dm         F
I'm dying to feel alive if only for tonight

I want to drive far away with you
                 F                    C            G
I know that it’s nothing new, but we feel it every time
F          C               G
All my life I felt like my hands were tied
             F             C          G
I'm dying to feel alive if only for tonight
F                           G
This won’t be the last time I'll be here
   Am                          G
No this won't be the last time I'll be here
