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

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

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