- fingerpicking -
                    Gb
Take everything you know and write it on your skin
                  Db
And you can carry on and forget everything
                    B                       Gb
Take everything you own and put it in your car
               Db
You can drive away, drive away so far,
                B                            Gb
And drive into a lake and take off all your clothes,
                   Db
Set your clothes on fire, now you are alone
                      B                       Gb
But you've got all you know written on your skin,
                 Db
So you can carry on and forget everything

Pre-Chorus:
Gb                 B         Gb
All the things I'd rather be,
                  B         Gb
All the things I'd rather be

Chorus:
Gb                                     Ebm  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
    B            Gb
I can, only leave

I can, only leave

I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
    B            Gb
I can, only leave

Bridge:
Gb                                 Db
Life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off
    Gb                                 Db
And life feels like a music box, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off


     Gb                                              Db
- Let's start again -
And life feels like a music box - start again -, I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off
 - let's start again -

     Gb                                             Db
And life feels like a music box - start again - I'm spinning round slowly and I can't get off

Chorus:
Gb                                     Ebm  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
    B            Gb
I can, only leave
Gb                                     Ebm  
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here
    B            Gb
I can, only leave

Outro:
Gb                         B            Gb
I can't, I can't, I can't stay around here.
