[Intro]
Fmaj7/C C G x4
[Verse 1]
Fmaj7/C
Well the sun is beating down the black top
C G Fmaj7/C C G
My hands are aching, my head is falling off
Fmaj7/C
And I can't seem to sleep past nine
C G Fmaj7/C C G
Crying eyes over wasted time
Fmaj7/C
And the older I get the more I see
C G Fmaj7/C C G
If you walk out the door there's no re-entry
Fmaj7/C
So where do I stay and when do I go?
C G Fmaj7/C C G
These are the questions I really wanna know
[Chorus]
C G Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
C G Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
C G Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
C G Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
Fmaj7/C C G
With you
[Instrumental]
Fmaj7/C C G x3
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7/C
And back to the place where I grew up
C G Fmaj7/C C G
With stacks of books at the TV volume up
Fmaj7/C
I always dreamt of a bigger place
C G Fmaj7/C C G
Now I'm wondering why I wanted to escape this
Fmaj7/C
Cause my old dog ain't here no more
C G Fmaj7/C C G
Just sitting on the shelf with the ones that came before him
Fmaj7/C
Yeah so now just sit down and watch a film with me
C G Fmaj7/C C G
I need you here desperately
[Chorus]
C G Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
C G Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
C G Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
C G Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
C G Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer
[Bridge]
C G Am Fmaj7/C
And well I close my eyes and I see everything
C G Am Fmaj7/C
See an old used car and a broken bike in an overgrown yard
C G Am Fmaj7/C
I see my friend walking through the field to the evergreen
C G Am Fmaj7/C C G
Where we'll drink too much and cry about everything
[Instrumental]
Fmaj7/C C G x3
[Chorus]
C G Fmaj7/C
So now I'm burning down the avenue
C G Fmaj7/C
At a hundred miles an hour
C G Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm burning down the avenue
C G Fmaj7/C
And I'm scared I ain't got much longer
C G Fmaj7/C
Oh I'm scared I ain't got much longer
G Fmaj7/C
With you
