Intro: Gbm
 
Verse:
Gbm                                        A
I don't want to wait anymore I'm tired of looking for answers
E                                  Gbm
   Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
Gbm                                                         A
   I don't know if I'm scared of dying but I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
  E                             Gbm
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
 

Gbm                                    A
   There's no starting over, no new beginnings, time races on
E                                          Gbm
   And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Gbm                              A
   Gotta keep on going, looking straight out on the road - can't worry 'bout
E                                             Gbm
   what's behind you or what's coming for you further up the road
 

Gbm                                       A
   I try not to hold on to what is gone,   I try to do right what is wrong
E                                Gbm
   I try to keep on   keeping on    
A              E                  Gbm
   Yeah I just keep on keeping on
 
Chorus:
D                A        E                 Gbm
  I hear a voice calling,   calling out for me
D                     A          E             Gbm
  These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
D           A       E           Gbm
  Be it for reason,   be it for love
D   A     E          D A  Gbm
  I won't take   the easy road

Verse:
Gbm                               A
  I've woken up in a hotel room,   my worries as big as the moon
E                                       Gbm
  Having no idea who or what or where I am
Gbm                                   A
  Something good comes with the bad,   a song's never just sad
E                                Gbm
  There's hope, there's a silver lining
 

A            E        Gbm
  Show me my   silver lining
A            E        Gbm
  Show me my   silver lining

D                     A          E             Gbm
  These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
D           A       E           Gbm
  Be it for reason,   be it for love
D   A     E          D A  Gbm
  I won't take   the easy road
