Ab
I'll never forget when we started out
A beat of the drum, a face in the crowd
Db
It's better this way, it's better this way
How far we've come now not a soul can change
Ab
Remember the road running under our feet
We'd shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees
Db
It's better this way, it's better this way
Gambling with life it was our turn to play
Ab
It's time
Db
Only when you look forward can you see behind?
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
Ab
Every trial and every test
We'd drive to the East and we'd fly to the West
Db
Just running away, just running away
We can be different 'cause they're all the same
Ab
Every night that we'd ever start
In every beat of every heart
Db
Is running way, just running away
Catching our breath at the end we could say
Ab
It's time
Db
Only when you look forward can you see behind?
Ab
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Db
Holding on to the moment we let go alive
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
Fm
Day after day in the light
Db
We're glowing in the dark
Ab
Standing was the sketch
Eb
Where falling wasn't hard
Fm
We lost ourselves to find
Db
We're somewhere down the line
Ab
It's time
Fm
Day after day in the light
Db
We're glowing in the dark
Ab
Standing was the sketch
Eb
Where falling wasn't hard
Fm
We lost ourselves to find
Db
We're somewhere down the line
Ab
It's time
Ab
For some it's a God, for me it's a fact
Db
We make a mistake and try taking one back
Ab
It's better this way, it's better this way
Db
Out of the grind and then into the grave
Ab
It's time
Db
Only when you look forward can you see behind?
Ab
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
Db
Holding on to the moment we let go alive
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride
We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride Ab
