     F             Am                 G
From up here this town don’t look so bad
F
I’m looking down at this place I hate and
    Am                    G
at least for a second it seems okay
    F               G
But I’m not getting over it
        Am
Getting used to it
                                    F
It’s been so long since everything seemed to fit
          G             Am
And it’s not a case of being scared or undeserving
F                G                   C
I’m just questioning the purpose of leaving
         Am         G       F
what I thought was pulling me down

      C/E                         Am     G C/E F G
But I’ll bite my tongue and grit my teeth

Am
I’ll leave my heart where I leave my home
G
I never thought that I’d be on my own
C/E
I never knew that I had this in me
F                     G
I kinda think it came all too quickly

    Am  F         G             C/E
But I know that growing up’s a part of growing up
 F
So I guess
I’ll just face the facts and
throw my bags up on this broken back
I’ll learn from my mistakes and find
a place where I can breathe
Somewhere that I can breathe

Am
I’ll miss the smell of the rain on my road
The dirty streets of the town I call home
F
My friends that kept me from feeling alone
         G
And the broken promises you made that forced me
to grow

And I’ll miss the paths I’ve walked a thousand
times
The mistakes that I made, the lessons learned
from the nights
That I spent with my friends in this town
I resent
All ‘cause this is the last of time that
I’ll spend around here
