Verse 1:
G    D        Am      Em
Woke up this morning,
G       D  Am        Em
Tossed out my cigarettes.
G   D   Am     Em
So much empty burning,
G   D    Am      Em
So much wasted breath.

Verse 2 (same as Verse 1):
        G               D   Am         Em
I think things'd be better back down south,
    G         D   Am    Em
Or maybe way out West.
G               D    Am      Em
There's nothing I'm sure of,
G          D Am   Em
It's just hypothesis.

Verse 3 (same as Verse 1):
Late last night I opened my eyes,
The sky was full of fire.
There was a bar of gold underneath my door.
Conversation outside, rising higher and higher and higher.

Chorus:
F                 Em               F           G/D (1)
Like a fool I've missed the voices tickling my ear.
F               Em                   Am  (let ring...)        G D Am Em x4
The siren song sounds so sweet and clear, I'm out of here.

Verse 4 (same as Verse 1):
I hate the hum and the roar,
This mechanized whine,
The city's broken monuments
To filth and grime.

Verse 5 (same as Verse 1):
I want heather and moss,
Sunlight and frost,
Oh, I want to get out of it all,
I want to get lost.

Chorus:
Like a pool won't you ripple my surface, shake up my frontiers?
The siren song sounds so sweet and clear, I'm out of here.

Bridge:
Bm                C               G/D  (2)
Leaving won't re-seam the broken places.
Bm               C             G/D  (2)
But travel is a tonic for the soul
Bm                  C             G/D  (2)
The city's full of bodies without faces.
Bm                       C                D/G
And aren't we all just transients on the road?

             G/D      G/F# Em7 Cadd9              G/D      G/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'm want to sneak out.                I'm want to peek out.
              G/D             G/F#    Em          Cadd9   G/D              G/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'm want to scratch and flare like a match in the face of pitch dark death.
              G/D       G/F# Em7 Cadd9              G/D       G/F# Em7 Cadd9
I'm want to stretch out.                I'm want to reach out.
           G/D          G/F# Em7     Cadd9       G/D             G/F# Em7    Cadd9
I'm want to face the Hurri - cane and match him breath for breath        for breath.

Chorus:
F                 Em               F           G/D (1)
Like a fool I've missed the voices tickling my ear.
F               Em                   Am  (let ring...)      (3)......end on G.
The siren song sounds so sweet and clear, I'm out of here.
