A#/F Gm
this ones going out to you
F D#
as the taxi pulls away
A#/F D# F Fsus F
a song to keep you company for the ride
A#/F Gm
theres something wrong with a goodbye
F D#
in the middle of the day
A#/F D# F Fsus F
so pretend I am still sitting at your side
D# Gm
and if you want to talk about all the differences
F Fsus
between the shackle and the man
D# Gm F
or if you’ve got reasons no one ever let you say
A#/F D# A#/F D#
then fire awayyyyyyyyyy
D# A#/F D# A#/F D#
fire awayyyyyyyy
A#/F Gm
this ones going out to you
F D#
on the day they let you out
A#/F D# F Fsus F
for the thousand ways they ask if you're okay
A#/F Gm
because whatever answer that you give
F D#
it’s only gonna play into their doubts
A#/F D# F Fsus F
and be just half of what’s behind each word you say
D# Gm
so if you finally roped that heartbreak song
F Fsus
that the experts never could
D# Gm F
or if you just wanted someone to listen to you play
A#/F D# A#/F D#
then fire awayyyyyyyyyy

A#/F Gm
this ones going out to you
F D#
if you ever start to slip
A#/F D# F Fsus F
and you learn to read between these lines you've drawn
A#/F Gm
when what is wrong and what is right
F D#
seem more like just the ocean and the ship
A#/F D# F Fsus F
and the straight line that you've followed here is gone
D# Gm
and if that same old fox comes and sweeps you up
F Fsus
each time you spread your wings
D# Gm F
I could at least love you through each stumble, shift and sway
F Fsus F7
