VERSE 1: E There's a breakdown on the runway, And the timeless flights are gone DAE I'm a year ahead of myself these days, And I'm locomotive strong E My city spread like cannon fire In a yellow nervous state DAE I can't cut the ties that bind me To horoscopes and fate
CHORUS: D/AAD/AA And I won't break and I won't bend D/AAE But someday soon we'll sail away BB7EE7 To innocence and the bitter end D/AAD/AA And I won't break and I won't bend D/AAE And with the last breath we ever take BB7AE We're gonna get back to the simple life again
BRIDGE: GEGDAA GEGDA
VERSE 2: When we break out of this blindfold I'm gonna take you from this place Until we're free from this ball and chain I'm still hard behind the eight My city beats like hammered steel On a shallow cruel rock If we could walk proud after midnight We'd never have to stop
