B             C#
Now that the hardest
        D#m
part is done
              F#
We'll have to face
        B
another one
           C#
And figure out what
           D#m    F#/A#
we'll both do and where
     B              C#
Each offer seems to promise
            D#m         F#
new ways to separate us both
             B
And I don't care what others
C#              F#
think is best I can't
just watch you go

   B
If we can stick together
       C#
we'll never be alone

Chorus:
      F#
We'll run away
      B
Just leave this place
D#m             G#m
If you're here next
             B
to me there's nowhere
    C#
I'd rather be
          F#
So we'll start tonight
      B
Just leave behind
D#m          G#m
the lives we used to
          B
know and venture out
   C#
to make it on our own

It'll just be harder if we wait
More settled in with every day
It makes more sense for us to both start new

And the worst thing I'd imagine is to
be stuck like this at home
And it might be rough at first but we'll
have stories when we're old

D#m
If things
 F#
start to break
B
we'll pack up and
C#           D#m
find another way
       F#
Settle down again
B
and if it's not
            C#
working out we'll just
take a different route

Chorus

F#                    B
Make it find another way
Won't you stop and
          D#m
take this place
                          C#
for the lives we used to know
F#                      B
  Make it find another way
Won't you stop and
          D#m
take this place
                          C#
for the lives we used to know
                   B
and make it on our own
