TF#Monight we're letting go, unD2der the burning glow
AWe're too young to hold thEis all on our own
F#mAll that came and went ridD2ing them by the winds
ABlowing through the trees, yEou could feel it on her skin
F#mWalking the lost streets, nD2o one ever shares
ACry yourself to sleep, waitEing on a little prayer
F#mBags are by the door, hearD2ts are on the floor
AThere's a bottle full of teaErs on the dresser drawer
Pre-chorus: same chord progression here. Hold D2 for transition to chorus.
F#mNobody knows the troD2uble we've seen
ANobody knows the priEce of this dream
F#mAnd nobody knows what it tD2ook to believe, nobody.
Chorus:
She wants to be Afree, like a ruF#mnaway, hey hey heD2y
Trying to belieAve, gonna fF#mind a way, hey hey hey D2hey

Trying to break fAree, Bmlike a ruD2naway hey hey hey heyE hey
(play second half of intro for the transition)
E-0-0-2-2-5-5-2-2-0-0-7-7-5-5-4-4
Verse 2:
The road below our wheels, all that we fought to heal
You close your eyes and cry, dying for the right to feel
I hear it coming down, oh the sweetest sound
Of forgotten tears falling on the solid ground
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
F#mOh, D2oh, Aoh, oh….
F#mOh, D2oh, Aoh, oh….
We're singing F#m"How diD2d we get thAis faF#mr, riding on D2a shootingA star? "
It's like F#mflying on the D2wings of GoAd
D2 E5 A (play E Barre chord between D2 & A)
She wants to be free
F#mLike a runaway heyD2 hey hey
Trying to beliAeve, gonna fF#mind a way hey hey D2hey hey
We got just oAn life, tBmonight we'reD2 running all the lighEts

Outro:
E-0-0-2-2-5-5-2-2-0-0-7-7-5-5-4-4-0-0-2-2-5-5-2-2-0-0-9-9-7-7-5-5
Here's how to play that E power chord:
E-|0
B-|0
G-|9
D-|9
A-|7
E-|0
Oh, and just a tip: Play the Bm like you would a regular barred chord, but raise
your pointer finger so the strings you would normally barre are open. It has a nicer voicing!
