Before we go.

No time to lay around,
C Dm C Am
We'll come back

This time we can't
F C G
Be late.
A F#7/E
[Chorus 1]
Dm Bb
I was driving,
F
Taking chances,
C
Walking way too far out on
Dm
Some broken branches.
Bb
Sometimes where you're going
F C
Is hard to see.
Dm Bb
I always knew there was
F
Something missing.
C
They said no one could ever get me
Dm
To sit and listen.
Bb
I was always
F
Trying to leave.
C Dm Bb
Babe, it got away from me.
F C
It got away from me.
[Verse 2]

No time to plant our feet.
C F C G
These things they always

Come from nowhere.

We'll come back
F C G
Someday.
A F#7/E
[Chorus 2]
Dm Bb
Nothing will ever just
F
Come to you, it's only
C
What you find around and
Dm
What you do.
Bb
If you don't hold it tight
F C
It'll leave.
Dm Bb
I kept see in you
F
All around me.
C
I couldn't just stand here and wait
Dm
Until you find me.
Bb
I had to take you to make you
F
Believe.
C Dm Bb
Babe, it got away from me.
F C
It got away from me.
Dm
It got away from me.
"In the word 'me', hard strumming following the pattern:
Dm Bb F C "
[Bridge]
Dm Bb F
C Dm Bb
It got away from me.
F C
It got away from me.
[Outro]
Dm Bb
If I wasn't so gone tonight
F C
I'd try to explain (it got away from me).
Dm Bb
Some people just know what they want,
F C
It doesn't change.
Dm Bb
If I wasn't so gone completely
F C
This would feel like pain.
Dm Bb F C Dm
Some people just know what they want.
