F Am C Dm F
[Verse 1]
F Am
This strip mall town has got me down
C Dm F
A lonely populated shade of grey
Am C Dm
And they're expecting me to stay
F Am
"A" through "Z" the blacktop streets
C Dm F
Repeat the patterns we’ve all seen before
Am C Dm
It's getting harder to ignore
[Pre Chorus]
F C G
This won't be the last time I’ll be here
[Chorus]
F Am
I want to drive far away with you
C Dm F
I know that it's nothing new, but we feel it every time
F Am
For all my life I felt like my hands were tied
C Dm F
I'm dying to feel alive if only for tonight
[Verse 2]
F Am
Each time we pass the District line
C Dm F
And make our way along the interstate
Am C Dm
I feel the pressure start to fade
F Am
The sun goes down, we hear the sound
C Dm F
Of Springsteen singing "we were born to run"
Am C Dm
Well baby, we're still young
[Pre Chorus]
F C G
This won't be the last time I'll be here
F C G
I know that I can't outrun the fear
[Chorus]
F Am
I want to drive far away with you
C Dm F
I know that it's nothing new, but we feel it every time
F Am
For all my life I felt like my hands were tied
C Dm F
I'm dying to feel alive if only for tonight
[Bridge]

I know that it’s nothing new, but we feel it every time
F C G
All my life I felt like my hands were tied
F C G
I'm dying to feel alive if only for tonight
F G
This won’t be the last time I'll be here
Am G
No this won't be the last time I'll be here
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

I want to drive far away with you

I know that it's nothing new, but we feel it every time

For all my life I felt like my hands were tied

I'm dying to feel alive if only for tonight
[Outro]
F
If only for tonight
F Am C
If only for tonight
Dm F
If only for tonight
F
If only for tonight
