Verse

G           Bm              C
  When your heart is out of line
Em           F              D
  And you're feeling left behind
G           Bm                  C
  Seems the faith's not on your side
Em        F                D
  And the fog has left you blind

Bridge

F#m11     E/G#               Asus2
 When the pressure's pulling different ways
                                     2/4
F#m11      E/G#           Asus2 | B | B |
  Find you lying for some empty days

Chorus

  E             Asus2
I stop for some breathing space
  E            Asus2
I pause in the public place
     C#m7              F#m7
Take time from all the time it takes
        E/G#           Asus2
To make up for all the big mistakes
            F#m11            Bsus4
I gotta get out, I gotta get out

Verse

G           Bm               C
  When your life runs out of steam
Em        F             D
  And you need a little time
G         Bm             C
  If your muse is out of luck
Em          F             D
  You might need an extra rhyme

Bridge

F#m11      E/G#               Asus2
 When your heart escapes your head downways
                                             2/4
F#m11    E/G#               Asus2 | B Bsus4 | B |
  In the growing queue that life creates

Chorus

  E             Asus2
I stop for some breathing space
  E             Asus2
Divert from the public place
  C#m7      F#m7
Return to a private place
  E/G#            Asus2
I know it's the adjusting case
            F#m11            Bsus4
I gotta get out, I gotta get out

Middle 8

Em         Cmaj7/E
  Far far away I'm going
Em         Cmaj7/E
  Far far away
          | Bsus4 | Cmaj7 |
I gotta get out
          | Bsus4 | Cmaj7 |
I gotta get out

Verse

G           Bm                C
  There's a place beyond this world
Em          F                  D
  Where the mountains meet the sky
G        Bm                 C
  It's a different state of mind
Em       F                   D
  Like a dream where you can fly

Bridge

F#m11   E/G#             Asus2
  Can I tell you this in confidence
                                                2/4
F#m11       E/G#              Asus2  | B Bsus4 | B |
  I need to regain that whole indoor sense
[Chorus] + coda
  E             Asus2
I stop for some breathing space
  E             Asus2
Divert from the public place
  C#m7      F#m7
Return to a private place
  E/G#            Asus2
I know it's the adjusting case
            F#m11           |  Bsus4  |  E  |  %  |
I gotta get out, I gotta get out        (synth arpeggio, fade out)
