[Intro]
Em D C C x2
[Verse 1]
[Leo]
Em D
I hope some night you'll be reading off this page
C
Can you hear me in the street light breathing out your name?
Em D
A dark emotion left me broken tied around my head
C
Tied so tight there's not a feeling left
Em D
Maybe I should leave to reach a state of inner peace
C
I know that it is hard understanding you and me
Em D
Our family is broken, our family is gone
C
I'm writing this letter to tell I can't carry on
[Charlie]
Em D
By the time we meet again
C
It may not be me, my friend
Em D C
I'll be someone else
[Leo (Charlie)]
Em D
Heart so shattered that I can hardly sleep
C
The only time I see your face is invested in a dream
Em D
I try to forget you, inside I am torn (I'll be someone else)
C N.C.
Although you are heart broken I am heart broken more
[Chorus]
[Charlie]
G
I'm gonna buy a fast car
Em
A new fast car
Bm C
And I'll drive drive drive drive
G
Fast car
Em Bm
And I'm never coming back again
G
I'm gonna buy a fast car
Em
A new fast car
Bm C
And I'll drive drive drive drive
G
Fast car
Em Bm
And I'm never coming back again
[Verse 2]
[Leo]
Em D
Maybe I can open up and tell you what is on my mind
C
Better things are coming, I don't want to bring you down this time
Em
In a room that's adjacent
D C
I felt the soft placement of your palms on the wall
Your nails trace a new life
Em D
Somewhere outside this bitter tasting home
C
Where we can forget this life and its amplifying tone
Em
Is this where I belong
D
Is this the right path
C
I wish that I could stay but I'm not coming back
[Charlie]
Em D
By the time we meet again
C
It may not be me, my friend
Em D C
I'll be someone else
[Leo (Charlie)]
Em D
There is no way to take back my actions
C
Everything is marred, smeared into the blackness
Em D
The deadness of the wind and the whispering moon (I'll be someone else)
C N.C.
If there is a heaven I will see you there soon
[Chorus]
[Charlie]
G
I'm gonna buy a fast car
Em
A new fast car
Bm C
And I'll drive drive drive drive
G
Fast car
Em Bm
And I'm never coming back again
G
I'm gonna buy a fast car
Em
A new fast car
Bm C
And I'll drive drive drive drive
G
Fast car
Em Bm
And I'm never coming back again

[Bridge]
[Charlie]
G
When you get home
Em
You'll find a letter
Bm
Gonna be better
C
Better this way
G
When I'm gone
Em
Change of weather
Bm
I'll be better
G
When you get home
Em
You'll find a letter
Bm
Gonna be better
C
Better this way
G
When I'm gone
Em
Change of weather
Bm
I'll be better

[Leo]
G Em Bm C
The only thing he has inside the pocket of his bag, a photo of you
G Em
A photo of you he takes everywhere he goes
Bm
He doesn't want your empathy, he wants you to come home
G Em
Time can be such a funny thing
Bm C
Always moving to the future whilst forgetting the past
G Em
That has brought you to this moment, so hold it
Bm
This is why you're here and not froze in the moment
[Chorus]
[Charlie]
G
I'm gonna buy a fast car
Em
A new fast car
Bm C
And I'll drive drive drive drive
G
Fast car
Em Bm
And I'm never coming back again
