Verse
Gm F
I found my fear in the ashes of this town as it burned
Gm F
When the smoke entered my lungs, I suffocated on lessons I learned
Gm 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)
Gm 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)
Gm F
Suddenly I saw everything that I never could have done with you here
[Chorus]
Eb Gm
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)
Eb Gm F
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
Cm
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me
[Instrumental]
Eb Eb

[Verse 2]
Gm
You dream about (every hope) hidden away (but just below)
Dm F
The surface of your skin, so coarse but oh so thin
Gm
You're terrified (of letting go)
Nothing is reaped until it's sown
Dm F
No time to give in this one life we live
Eb F
Moving forward is not failing
[Chorus]
Eb Gm
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)
Eb Gm F
The bridges all burned down, everything you know is lost
Cm
Nobody ever leaves
But this town won't take the best of me
[Instrumental]

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