guitar chords lyrics

Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
Intro: C F C F x2
C F C F
Some birds fly away to the horizons warmer days,
C F C F
Summer feels better than the blistering cold
C F C F
I long for more than this doing a job just so I live
C F C F
I know my soul's vision can't be changed
Am C F
Someday soon I'll travel to find me
Am C F
And this abyss ain't as dark as I feared
C F Am
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
G C
Travel the world before I'm old
F Am
I'll send you photos in the post
G C
That captured the moments I love the most
F Am
This is my great escape
G
This is my great escape
C F
I want to climb up mountains
C F
Drink from nature's fountains
C F C
Who knows what I'll do on my way
C F
C F
I want to feel lost and stranded
C F
Find love in a different language
C F C
Who knows who I'll meet on my way
Am C F
Now I'm sure this is what I need
Am C D7
Space to roam and be completely free
C F Am
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
G C
Travel the world before I'm old
F Am
I'll send you photos in the post
G C
That captured the moments I love the most
F Am
This is my great escape
G C
This is my great escape
Am Am/F*7 G
I was once told whilst growing up
C B Am
If you want to leave then go while you can
Am Am/F*7 G
Before you get stuck, before you become
C B D7
Another cog in the working machine
Well that's not me so...
Break C, F, Am, G x2
C F Am
So I'm gonna pack my things and go
G C
Travel the world before I'm old
F Am
I'll send you photos in the post
G C
That captured the moments I love the most
F Am
I'm gonna pack my things and go
G C
Travel the world before I'm old
F Am
Now I'll send you photos in the post
G C
That captured the moments I love the most
F Am
This is my great escape
G C
This is my great escape
F Am
This is my great escape
G C
This is my great escape
