A          Bm          F#m
I'm going back, back again
A       Bm          F#m
Flying solo, only myself to blame
A          Bm      F#m            D
Taking my chances time and time again
            A Bm        E
Goodbye to you my old friend

Chorus:
           D                 F#m
Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
 A                     E
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
     D   F#m E
It's automatic
D                           F#m
Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
A                         E
Running from the life I tried to ignore
     D   F#m    A    E
It's automatic, automatic

Feeling sadness, feeling shame
I've taken the easy way out over and over again
Open road, I'm coming home
I'm free to live, I'm free to roam

Chorus

Bm
Bring it right down, get ready to stop
D
Turn it right round, go back to the start
Bm
Bring it right down, get ready to stop
E
Turn it right round, turn it right round,
turn it right round
Go back to the start

D   F#m    A    E
Automatic, automatic

Chorus
