[Verse]
F#m
The days may change
Bm
With the length of your hair
D
And the clothes that you wear
F#m
But you’re still some kid
Bm D
And you're farther from home than ever before
[Instrumental] (x2)
F#m Bm D
[Verse]
F#m
You grow tired
Bm
In your search for salvation
D F#m
A hunt for your place in this world you know
Bm
It birthed you, it molds you
D
It tears you apart
[Instrumental] (x2)
F#m Bm D
[Chorus]
A C#m
It’s out, out, out with the old
Bm
And it’s in with the new
A C#m
We want back, back, back to the old
Bm
Just a lonely few singing
(strummed only once)
F#m
“Bring the rain to my front door
Bring a thundering sky
F#m
Tame the fires that burn the walls
(gradually start strumming again)
Of a life that waves goodbye”
[Instrumental] (x2)
F#m Bm D
[Verse]
F#m
The hours defy me
Bm
The weeks are drawn on
D
As they fit to a song
F#m
Oh and the frustration,
Bm
The cause within sight,
D
My teeth chip as I bite.
[Instrumental] (x2)
F#m Bm D
[Chorus]
A C#m
It’s out, out, out with the old

Just a lonely few singing
[Verse]
(strummed only once)
F#m
“Bring the rain to my front door
Bring a thundering sky

Tame the fires that burn the walls
(gradually start strumming again)
Of a life that waves goodbye”

What have I become?
D A E
Just another one away from home
D A
Something takes my hand
F#m E Bm A E
But my feet won’t walk along
(less soft)

New hopes tower us

And our eyes were doors

But they walked right through

Now it’s haunting us

In the only home we’ve known
