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

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

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