C
Excuse me while I disappear
C/A#
I think I've overstayed my welcome here
F                   C/E    Dm7           G
So now I think it's best I go before my heart
turns to stone
C
Been traveling a hundred years
C/A#
Thought I was close but I was nowhere near
       F                           C/E      Dm7
When I asked myself, "Where do you wanna go?"
              G
I guess I've never known
A#                                     F
Oh, but baby, now I think I've really noticed

Chorus:
C                        A#                 F
I've been looking for a better day for my great
escape
C       A#              F
Never afraid of going alone
         C               A#                 F
I'm still looking for a better day for my great
escape
C                A#                     F
Only now it's a better way to get back home

Excuse me while I interrupt
All this noise and all this fuss
Working night and day
And all the songs I love to play
They take me further away
Further from the ones I love
I don't know what I was thinking of
When I told myself, "Go out and chase your dreams
And find out what they mean"
Oh, now I can't wait to quit this crazy scene, hey

Chorus

    Am                 Am/G           F   G
And all the while, the burden of my choice
Am Am/G           F  G
Defines the man I am
    Am             Am/G          F#m7-5
And all the pain I feel is in my voice
   F             C   C/A#
I hope you understand
                  F     A# G
I hope you understand, hey

Chorus:
I've been looking for
a better day for my great escape
Never afraid to go in alone
I'm still looking for
a better day for my great escape
Only now it's a better way to get back home, hey

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey, go
I'm going home
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home, hey
I'm going home
