Tom: C#m
C#m
E
B
G#m
F#m
C#m
For the first time in my life
E
From a hotel room in Mexico
B A
I've been hanging on this feeling cause it always gets away
C#m
The first is always right
E
You never hesitated either
B
When the words are worth repeating
A
Everyday will turn to night
C#m E
It's the first time that I try to keep the ending a big secret
B
Try to change try to cheat it
A
For the first time in my life
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
But you were looking for direction
E
Trying to make it by
A
Always looking for the shortcuts
F#m
You've been racing this whole time
C#m
And everybody wanted something
E
But you just can't decide
A
Everybody wants the answers
C#m E C#m E G#m
But they're busy telling lies
C#m E
I found a crack when I was younger underneath it
B A
As I pulled on all the strings to find the pieces
C#m E
I hate to tell you it's just another way to say it
B
But this thing that you call freedom
A
No it's not quite what it seems
B
You know it's never what it seems
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
But you were looking for direction
E
Trying to make it by
A
Always looking for the shortcuts
F#m
You've been racing this whole time
C#m
And everybody wanted something
E
But you just can't decide
A
Everybody wants the answers
C#m E C#m E G#m
But they're busy telling lies
[Bridge]
C#m
I got the feeling
E
That you're troubled by your reasons
G#m
Use the fire it keeps you warm
A
Use your eyes so you can see them
C#m
It's the changing of the seasons
E
When it's always just repeating
B
Down the line you'll probably see'em
A
But for now you're deep in thought
[Chorus]
F#m C#m
But you were looking for direction
E
Trying to make it by
A
Always looking for the shortcuts
F#m
You've been racing this whole time
C#m
And everybody wanted something
E
But you just can't decide
A
Everybody wants the answers
C#m E C#m E G#m
But they're busy telling lies
