Capo 1st
[Intro]
C
And I'm good, good, good to go. I'm good, good, good to go
Am
I got to get away
C
Get away from all of my mistakes (repeat)
[Verse 1]
C Am
So here I sit looking at the traffic lights
Am F
The red extinguishes the hope that the green ignites
F C
I want to run away I want to ditch my life
G Am
Cause all of my mistakes keep me awake at night
[Bridge]
Am
And after all of my alibis desert me
F
I just want to get by
I don�t want nothing to hurt me
C
I had no idea where my head was at
Am G
But if my heart says I'm sorry can we leave it at that
C G Am
Because I just want for all of this to end
[Chorus]
F C
And I so hate consequences
Am G
And running from you is what my best defense is
Am C
OOOh...Consequences
Am G
Oh God, don�t make me face up to this
F C
And I so hate consequences
Am G
And running from you is what my best defense is
F
Cause I know that I let you down
G
And I don�t want to deal with that
C
And I'm good, good, good to go. I'm good, good, good to go
Am
I got to get away
C
Get away from all of my mistakes (repeat)
***USE THE SAME CHORD PROGRESSIONS AS THE OTHER VERSE AND CHORUS FOR THE REST OF THE SONG***
[Verse 2]
It just now hit me this is more than just a set back
And when you spelled it out, well, I guess I didn�t get that
And every trace of momentum is gone
And this isn�t turning out the way I want
[Bridge]
And after all of my alibis desert me
I just want to get by
I don�t want nothing to hurt me
I had no idea where my head was at
But if my heart says I�m sorry can we leave it at that
Because I just want for all of this to end
[Chorus]
Am G
And I spent all last night
F
Tearing down
Every stoplight
C
And stop sign in this town
G
Now I think there might
C
Be no way to stop me now
G
I'll get away despite
C
The fact I�m so weighed down
G
All of my escapes have been exhausted
Am
I thought I had a way but then I lost it
F G
And my resistance was once much stronger
Am
And I know I can't go on like this much longer
C Am
When I got tired of running from you
F
I stopped right there to catch my breath
C
There your words they caught my ears
G Am
You said, "I miss you son. Come home�"
C Am
And my sins, they watched me leave
F
And in my heart I so believed
C
The love you felt for me was mine
G Am
The love I�d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
C F
I heard no I told so�s
Am G
I said the words I knew you knew
C
Oh God, Oh God I needed you
Am F
God all this time I needed you, I needed you
[Chorus]
