Gm                             F
Another day goes without any change
               C/E               Gm
The feeling we live with still remains
We're stuck in a hole, and we're searching for
F
anything
    C/E
To hold on to
Gm                                        F
There has to be somewhere that we can be safe
          C/E               Gm
From the lives we live each day
                                          F    C/E
There has to be somewhere that we can be far away.

Chorus:
D#           Gm                  F
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere
   C/E               D#
If you just lead the way
              A#                    F
Escape to a place where we'll be together
   C/E         D#
Together every day
D#
We have to escape...

We could be living how we wanted to, (we wanted to)
Instead of doing things we're forced to do
With no one to tell us that we should be
going through
What they went through
There has to be some place that nobody knows,
(nobody knows)
Somewhere we can only go
There has to be some place that we can be all alone.

Chorus:
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together every day
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together every day
Oh, together everyday...
Oh yeah...

D#            Gm F C
We have to escape... (escape)
D#            A# F C
We have to escape... (escape)
D#            Gm                 F
We have to escape, and I will go anywhere

If you just lead the way
Escape to a place where we'll be together
Together every day
We have to escape, (escape) and I will go anywhere
If you just lead the way
Escape to a place (escape) where we'll be together
Together every day
We have to escape...
