Intro
C#m A B* *=(pinky notes e to eb on third string)
I can't even think of one good reason
Why I'm always thinkin 'bout leavin
B*
's not like everything's so horrible
w'Been together for a few years now
And you know all my ins and outs
B*
But everything's way to comfortable
F# (8 beats)
From the moment I wake
A (4 beats) B (3 beats)
I plan my escape
I'm not scared
A (2 fr.) C#m B (2 fr.)
Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me
And I swear
A (2 fr.)
That I'll find it someday
(2 fr.)
Just wait and see
I don't care
A (2 fr.)
That you call me crazy
(2 fr.)
I can't stay cause I need room to breathe
There's nothing left to say
B*
Better sorry than safe
Sometimes I wish you cheated on me
Then leavin here would be so easy
B*
It's time to take a chance and give you up
In the morning I wake
And make my escape
I'm not scared
A (2 fr.) C#m B (2 fr.)
Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me
And I swear
A (2 fr.)
That I'll find it someday
(2 fr.)
Just wait and see
I don't care
A (2 fr.)
That you call me crazy
(2 fr.)
I can't stay cause I need room to breathe
There's nothing left to say
(2 fr.)
Better sorry than safe

I'm not scared
Cause I know there's something out there waiting for me

That you call me crazy

There's nothing left to say
Better sorry than safe
ahoooooooo Yeah
There's nothing left to say
-----
The Chords in the first part sound good as 6th string bar chords. Except the E
which sounds better as a 5th string A shapes chord.
When the key changes I use mostly 5th string A and Am shapes at the appropriate fret.
