          Am               G        F
Well, the neon lights burn red and gold
   Am              G       Am
I came to hear my fortune told
 Am             G       F
Can't imagine what she saw
       Am             G      Am
While gazing in her crystal ball

Far out past the astral plane
I cast you back from whence you came
Cosmic ash and blackened brain
I call you by your ancient names

Chorus:
F             G        Am  F G Am
I gotta get away from here
F             G        Am
I gotta get away from her

What the fortune teller said is
I'm alive for now but good as dead
She claims she'd seen it all
While she was gazing in her crystal ball

If I can't evade my fate
Then I won't sit around and wait
A fallen star will be thy bane
I call you by your ancient names

Chorus:
I gotta get away from here
(I'll never see another sunrise)
I gotta get away from her
(Oh, if I leave this place alive)
I gotta get away from here
(I'll never see another sunrise)
Oh I gotta get away from her

I gotta get away from here
I gotta get away from her
I gotta get away from here
I gotta get away from her

I gotta get away from here
If I live to see the next sunrise
I gotta get away from her
Oh, if I leave this place alive
