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

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

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