[Verse 1]
A#5
She found a way out of this place
Dm
It’s a permanent escape
F5
She’ll stay content and save it for a rainy day

And all the while you had your say

Didn’t know how to convey

You ventured off no turning back you’ve gone astray

A#5
He found an open door in sight
D#m
But the journey isn’t right

Don’t need luck to see the end

About your route

Don’t give it up

Now you know I’m talking to you
