[Verse 1] (piano and voice)

F 
Just stop your crying
                   Dm
It's a sign of the times
               C
Welcome to the final show

Hope you're wearing your best clothes
F
You can't bribe the door
                   Dm
On your way to the sky
                C
You look pretty good down here

But you ain't really good...


[Pre-Chorus 1] (add guitar whole notes)
F
If we never learn we've been here before
Dm       
Why are we always stuck and
                   C
running from the bullets
       C7
The bullets...

F
  We never learn we've been here before
Dm       
Why are we always stuck and
                   C
running from the bullets
       C7
The bullets...


[Chorus 1]
F 
Just stop your crying
                   Dm
It's a sign of the times
              C
We gotta get away from here
              C7 
We gotta get away from here
F 
Just stop your crying
            Dm
It'll be alright
                      C
They told me that the end is near
              C7 
We gotta get away from here



[Verse 2] (piano, bass, drums, voice)
F 
Just stop your crying
                      Dm
Have the time of your life
                     C
Breakin' through the atmosphere

Things look pretty good from here

F                             Dm
Remember everything will be alright
               C
We could meet again somewhere.

Somewhere far away from here. 


[Pre-Chorus 2] (add guitars)
F
  We never learn we've been here before
Dm       
Why are we always stuck and

running from the bullets
       C7
The bullets...

F
  We never learn we've been here before
Dm       
Why are we always stuck and

running from the bullets

The bullets...

We gotta get away from here

We gotta get away from here
F 
Stop your crying, baby
            Dm
It'll be alright
                      C
They told me that the end is near
              C7
We gotta get away from here


[Pre-Chorus 3] (all in)
F
If we never learn we've been here before
Dm       
Why are we always stuck and
                   C
running from the bullets
       C7
The bullets...

F
  We never learn we've been here before
Dm       
Why are we always stuck and

running from the bullets

 We don't talk enough

  We should open up

 Will we ever learn

 We've been here before

 It's just what we know

We got to get away

We got to get away

We got to get away
