[Verse]

E                 A       C#m
They say you're a dreamer
                  B
You've gotta move on
E            A
Forget about closure
          C#m                  B
We're the ones who've gotta be strong

E               A       C#m
Forget all your secrets
                    B
You can't keep them all
E                 A
You won't live forever
       C#m                B
If you never live life at all

[Chorus]
           E
Don't look back
                  A                     C#m
Just head for the sun when the curtains fall
                  B
We're setting the stage for the final run
E              A                      C#m
The tables are turned dark before the dawn
                B
We leave them behind when the lights turn on

E
Can you hear me?
A
Are you ready?
C#m              B
We're giving our best to you

E
Can't you see me?
A
I'm more than ready
C#m               B
We're leaving the rest to you

[Verse]
E            A
Remember the silence
C#m          B
Remember the day
E                   A
They burned all the lights out
         C#m              B
And they came to take us away
E              A
So sing it out loud now
C#m              B
Crash open these doors
E                    A
We're here and we're better
           C#m                      B
You're the ones that we're fighting for

[Chorus]
           E
Don't look back
                  A                     C#m
Just head for the sun when the curtains fall
                  B
We're setting the stage for the final run
E              A                      C#m
The tables are turned dark before the dawn
                B
We leave them behind when the lights turn on

E
Can you hear me?
A
Are you ready?
C#m              B
We're giving our best to you

E
Can't you see me?
A
I'm more than ready
C#m               B
We're leaving the rest to you

           E
Don't look back
                  A                     C#m
Just head for the sun when the curtains fall
                  B
We're setting the stage for the final run
E              A                      C#m
The tables are turned dark before the dawn
                B
We leave them behind when the lights turn on

E
Can you hear me?
A
Are you ready?
C#m              B
We're giving our best to you

E
Can't you see me?
A
I'm more than ready
C#m               B
We're leaving the rest to you

[Outro]
E
Can you hear me?
A
Are you ready?
C#m              B
We're giving our best to you
E
Can't you see me?
A
I'm more than ready
C#m               B
We're leaving the rest to you
