E
My name is Billie, And im freaking out
E           G#m
I thought before I was
       A                    B E B
And I can't get it figured out
E       A             E
I sit alone with my thoughts and prayers
E            G#m
Screaming my memories
   A                B  E B
As if I was never there

Chorus:
C#m             E                 B
Standing at the edge of the world
C#m                 E   B
Its giving me the chills
C#m              E                B
Looking down the edge of the world
 A         B
Lost in a tangle
      E          A
Its freaking me out
A        B              E   B A
Burning lights and Blackouts
B                         E B A
From the edge of the world
B
From the edge of the world

I'm like a punk rocker on Labor Day
How the hell did I work so hard
To be born this way?
I never learned to read or write so well
But I can play the guitar
Until it hurts like hell

Chorus

Bm           G                D       A
If this is what you call the good life
Bm        G             D  A
I want a better way to die
Bm           G                D       A
If this is what you call the good life
Bm        G             D
I want a better way to die

Dont wanna think about this road
          Bm     A   D  F#m Em G  Bm A
It doesnt matter anyway

Oh I,
I wanna start a revolution
I wanna hear it on my radio
I'll put it off another day

G                 A
I want a new conspiricy
         D                      G  A
And the silence of a thousand cries
G
So hurry up
   A                    D
I want a better way to die

Im running late to Somewhere Now
D/B             A G Bm G
I dont want to be

Where the future and promises
       D/A#            A G A# G
Ain't what it used to be
D                  D/C
I never wanted to compromise
    D/F             A  G A# G
Or bargain with my soul
D                    D/C
How did life on the wild side
D/B          A
Ever get so full

 G    A    D
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now
Somewhere now

G            A            D    G
Dont wanna think about tomorrow

Dont wanna think about the road
            A         D G A
It doesn't matter anyway
   D G          A          D    G
Oh I, I wanna start a revolution
         A             D   G
I wanna hear it on my radio
            A            D G A
I'll put it off another day

Don't wanna think about the road
D           A         D G D A
It doesn't matter anyway
   D G D           A          D    G
Oh I,  I want to start a revolution
D          A              D   G
