[Intro]
AaddE A5b5 AaddE A6 AMaj7 A
AaddE A5b5 AaddE A6 AMaj7 A
[Verse 1]
AaddE
I woke up today to find
A5b5 AaddE A6
This tunnel vision left me blind
AMaj7 A
With no sense of where to go
AaddE
There's paper cuts on both my hands
A5b5 AaddE A6
Flipping through these books tryin; to understand
AMaj7 A
I don't, so I just go with the flow
[Verse 2]
AaddE
There's an open door with a clenched fist
A5b5 AaddE A6
And crooked signs that I might have missed
AMaj7 A
Some, somewhere along the way
AaddE
As I close my eyes I disappear
A5b5 AaddE A6
To a place in time far from here
AMaj7 A
I run, but I can't outrun today
[Chorus]
F#m
There's lightning in the sky
E E5b5 E5
I'm on the road
F#m E E5b5 E5
There's an overwhelming urge as she explodes
F#m E E5b5 E5
All my life been waiting to arrive...
F#m E E E5b5 E5
It's not the destination it's the drive
[Interlude]
A AaddE A5b5 A2 A AaddE A6 AMaj7 A5b5 A2 A
[Verse 3]
AaddE
I woke up with a bloody nose
A5b5 AaddE A6
And bruises on my feet and toes
AMaj7 A
Been kicking and screaming at the wall
AaddE
Strange how you feel most alive
A5b5 AaddE A6
When you're broken down trying to survive
AMaj7 A
You cry and curl up into a ball
[Verse 4]
AaddE
Somewhere in the solitude
A5b5 AaddE A6
Silence creeps up in front of you
AMaj7 A
For once there's nothing left to lose
AaddE
As I stare into the empty space
A5b5 AaddE A6
Everything seems to dissipate
AMaj7 A5b5 A2 A
Even if I could I wouldn't want to move
[Chorus]
F#m
There's lightning in the sky
E E5b5 E5
I'm on the road
F#m E E5b5 E5
There's an overwhelming urge as she explodes
F#m E E5b5 E5
All my life been waiting to arrive...
F#m E E5b5 E5
It's not the destination it's the drive
[Interlude]
A A4 A A2 A5 E
[Verse 5]
AaddE
I Woke up today with burning ears
A5b5 AaddE A6
Has it been 30 days or 30 years
AMaj7 A
I call, get you on the phone
AaddE
Said there's paper cuts on both your hands
A5b5 AaddE A6
Flipping through these books trying to understand
AMaj7 A
This life gets stranger as we go
[Chorus]
F#m
There's lightning in the sky
E E5b5 E5
I'm on the road
F#m E E5b5 E5
There's an overwhelming urge as she explodes
F#m E E5b5 E5
All my life been waiting to arrive...
F#m E E5b5 E5
It's not the destination it's the drive
[Outro]
E E5b5 E5 A A4 A A2 A5 E E5b5 E5
ah ah iiivve oh oh oh oh oh
E A A4 A A2 A5 E
It's the drive, oh oh oh oh oh.
