Verse
Am G
I found my fear in the ashes of this town as it burned
Am G
When the smoke entered my lungs, I suffocated on lessons I learned
Am G
Made it out of the fire, ran away just in time
(My home, this place will never change. I know what's best. I just can't stay)
Am G
Tried to kill my desire, tried to hold me here all of my life
(All these memories won't be erased, but it's time to make my own way)
Am G
Suddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with you here
[Chorus]
F Am
Don't turn around now there's no road back home
G
(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)
F Am G
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
Dm
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Am
You dream about (every hope) hidden away (but just below)
Em G
The surface of your skin, so coarse but oh so thin
Am
You're terrified (of letting go)
Nothing is reaped until it's sown
Em G
No time to give in this one life we live
F G
Moving forward is not failing
[Chorus]
F Am
Don't turn around now there's no road back home
G
(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)
F Am G
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
Dm
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me
[Instrumental]

F
When you feel your heart pumping in your chest
C Em
And ignites the spark that you've always felt
F C Em G
Do you trust yourself? Don't push those thoughts away
F
Can you feel the life flowing through your veins?
C Em G
It never mattered what the voices say
F Am
Life's not about how you fall
A A#
(It's about how many times you can get up)
C
You made it this far with the courage you had
A#
You carried the weight of it all
C
Every dead end just begins a new path
A# Dm
Oh, the places we'll go
