lyrics

[G] I’m leavin’ [Em] Main Street I’m [Am] seldom on [D] pace
I’m [G] scraping the [Em] pavement and [Am] scanning her [D] face
But [C] I'm looking’ to [Em] leave this [D] place
[G] My legs are [Em] running but [Am] I’m not [D] movin’
[G] I wanna to [Em] go where the [Am] stars aren’t [D] hidden
Cause [Am] I’m [Em] always [D] lookin’

[C] I know you [G] worry
But [Em] I’m doin’ [D] fine
I’m stayin’ [Em] high [C]
[Em] You can’t [G] bring me [D] peace
[Em] That load [C] lies on [D] me
And I’m gettin’ [G] by

[G] Fade away am[Em]bition [Am] spying on the [D] past
[G] Extinction [Em] from my mind [Am] questions never [D] asked
I [C] wish I could [Em] be your [D] last
[G] You are the [Em] star that [Am] brightened my [D] mission
[G] I often re[Em]live [Am] your aud[D]ition
[Am] I’m [Em] always [D] wishin’

Chorus
Intro

[G] Life brings it’s [Em] curves [Am] its turns and it’s [D] ditches
[G] I found a [Em] crook in the [Am] road to [D] riches
I [C] wonder [Em] if my heart has many [D] stitches
[G] My love is a [Em] gift [Am] not to [D] squander
[G] Some say the [Em] cosmos is [Am] not to [D] ponder
But [Am] I [Em] always [D] wonder

[C] I know you [G] worry
But [Em] I’m doin’ [D] fine
I’m stayin’ [Em] high [C]
[Em] You can’t [G] bring me [D] peace
[Em] That load [C] lies on [D] me
And I’m gettin’ [G] by
[Em] [C] [D]
And I’m gettin’ [G] by
