Verse
G#m F#
I found my fear in the ashes of this town as it burned
G#m F#
When the smoke entered my lungs, I suffocated on lessons I learned
G#m F#
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)
G#m F#
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)
G#m F#
Suddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with you here
[Chorus]
Fb G#m
Don't turn around now there's no road back home
F#
(No fear to hold you back, just say you want it, say you want it more)
Fb G#m F#
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
C#m
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me
[Instrumental]

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

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