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

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

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