B                                          E   (4x) 
I was a small-town kid with no possessions 
And I was bored beyond belief 
I couldn't wait to get away from nowhere 
I made a plan to finally leave (so I packed my) 
B-B-B-B/ A-A/ F#-F#/ B-B-B-B/ D-D/ A-A 
Bags and ran away I needed 
B-B-B-B/ A-A/ F#-F#/ B-B-B-B/ D-D/ A-A 
Something more to take away this pain 
 
B                                          E   (4x) 
I found the medicine tucked in your locker 
I picked the lock and grabbed the pills 
I found a friend and then we went 
And then we went, and then we went 
We swallowed all of them up on the trestle 
 
F / G / B   (3X) 
I heard a melody so pure 
I felt an echo that was so familiar 
I left my misery behind (if only for) 
G / A / B 
Briefest moment of time 
 
B / E (4X) 
You lost your balance as I tried to grab you 
And then you slipped right through my hands 
I don't remember how I made it out alive 
But there you went and here I am 
 
Guitar Bridge: 
F / G  /B (3X) 
G / A / B 
 
F / G  /B (3X) 
I keep the guilt out on display 
It's my memorial to mark the day 
If I could fall for you, but I can’t undo the 
G / A / B 
Briefest moment of time 
 
Repeat (G / A / B) to the end.
