The Escape

A C#m D Dm

[Verse 1]

       A                    C#m
The monotony is wearing. We all want to escape.
D                                         Dm
But it's pointless to attempt out running problems you create.
    A                                           C#m
She talks about her dreams and she swears she's gonna move out west.
        D                                 Dm
All she needs is 6 more months to get the bills from off her chest.

[Bridge]

            Bm                                 C#m
And now the smiles are getting hard to fake.
                                      D
The pointlessness is hard to shake.

I've got to leave I cannot breathe,
     Dm
I've had as much as I could take.

[Chorus]

            A               E          F#m
Because the future seems so glamorous,
                D
until it became relevant.
  A                 E             F#m
I swear this wasn't how it went.
                        D
The first time that I imagined it.
        A                              E                         F#m
Now my answers won't quit shaking from fear of what's to come.
                                     D                      A
These days it's hard to tell which direction I should run.
                                 E
I wish I had some advice to give; lessons learned from how I've lived.
        D                              Dm
But for every question answered we are adding to the sum.

[Verse 2]

A                           C#m                   D
Five years come and gone it seems like yesterday.
                              Dm
60 months in front of you and then it slips away.
    A                             C#m
I'm dazed. I'm confused. I've got so much to prove.
    D                                         Dm
But fuck it I ain't stressing too hard yet the apocalypse is on its way.

[Bridge]

            Bm                                 C#m
And now the smiles are getting hard to fake.
                                      D
The pointlessness is hard to shake.

I've got to leave I cannot breathe,
     Dm
I've had as much as i could take.

            A               E          F#m

        A                              E                         F#m

                                     D                      A

        D                              Dm
