Straight Ahead

F                       B
Well when she got the grade
                        F
She took her first real breath
                 C                       F
As a person without a single damn care left
                       B
Put a note in her phone
                    F
In double bold and red:
                    G                 C           F
“Everything that I need is somewhere straight ahead”
B                   C         F
Oh, it’s somewhere straight ahead
  B  C
F
Soon when the fuse was lit
B                     F
She tied a few loose ends
                       C
Certain people she loved
                        F
And just a few fake friеnds
                          B                   F
On the morning she left, shе left a text on read
       Dm        Gm              C         F
“Everybody I need is somewhere straight ahead
  B  C

       F                   B
'Cause I don’t wanna live for the summer
G             F
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
              F
I just think I’m better off leaving
F                   B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                 F      N.C.
I just think I’m better off leaving”

F                     B                      F
Two years to the day, she had it all worked out
                     C                   F
Wrote a couple of novels people wrote about
                      B                  F
Captivated the strangers at the bars uptown
           Dm      Gm              C      F
Thinking “nobody here could ever slow me down
 B                   C       F
Nah, they couldn’t slow me down”
   B  C
               F
And when the thought occurred
                 B
She bought the house she earned
              F                       C
She started looking into venues for July the third
             F                         B
She wants a west coast wedding with a mind like hers
            F        Dm             Gm
Before she puts a reminder in her phone
      C                  F
To remind her that she knows
       Dm           Gm
“I can do it on my own
       C
I can do it 'cause

F               B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             F
I just wanna live where I wanna
F               B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                F
I just think I’m better off leaving
F               B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F               B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                F
I just think I’m better off leaving”

F    B    Gm    F  C
F    B    Gm    F
F       B              Gm
      She’s off the ground
 F
She won’t look down
 B          Gm
She made a vow
 F
Don’t stop her now
    B                 Gm
The things that she wills
         C                F
Become things that she builds
    B              Gm
So don’t stop her now
C

F                  B                   Fm
 When she saw the movie all about her life
                        C                            F
Well she noticed some things they didn’t get quite right
                         B
Cause they added mistakes and cut her best damn nights
Gm                     G     C
Everybody who knew it sent a goddamn text
F                    B
“Did you tell them to do it so it makes more sense?”
Gm
She was staring straight ahead
          G
Took her time and said:

 F               B
“I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             F          C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                  F
I just think I’m better off leaving
F               B
I don’t wanna live for the summer
Gm             C
I just wanna live where I wanna
F                B
I don’t see whatever you’re seeing
Gm                  C
I just think I’m better off leaving”
