The Gloomies


Tom: C

Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
      Am                C
Feels like it rains for days
                       Fmaj7
Dripping off my fire escape
  Am              C
I like the way it tastes
                               Fmaj7
As the raindrops fall off your face

Am C

[Pre-chorus]
                                    Fmaj7  Am C
I'm stuck inside, I still can't get out
                               Fmaj7
Waiting for these lights to go out

[Chorus]
                        Am                    C
Some day I'll get away, one day I'll get away
                                                   Fmaj7
Forget about all the things that made me wanna stay
                       Am                   C
One day I'll get away, someday I'll get away

Fmaj7 Am C x2

Fmaj7

[Verse 2]
  Am                 C
I search from day-to-day
                               Fmaj7
But I still can't see past the gray
      Am           C
Seems like I can't behave
                                  Fmaj7
When I'm stuck inside this animal cage

Am C

[Pre-Chorus]
                               Fmaj7 Am C
Waiting for these lights to go out
                              Fmaj7
The hardest part is waking up now

[Chorus]
                  Am                         C
Some day I'll get away, one day I'll get away

Forget about all the things that made me wanna stay
Fmaj7                  Am                  C
One day I'll get away, someday I'll get away

Fmaj7 Am C x2

[Bridge]

Fmaj7          Dm
(You're already runnin')
Am                              C    Fmaj7
I'll take you away when the sun goes down
                Am
(You're already runnin')
                                        Fmaj7
But you keep me away when the lights go out

[Interlude]

Dm Am Fmaj7 Dm Am

[Outro]

Fmaj7                  Am                  C
Someday I'll get away, one day I'll get away
                                                    Fmaj7
Forget about all the things that made me wanna stay
                       Am                  C
One day I'll get away, someday I'll get away
