Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Feel[C] it,[G]
[C]the calm after the sto[Am]rm.
As still as [F]I can b[G]e.
I'm finally [C]all [F]alone
[Fsus2]Until I fal[F]l asleep .[Fsus2][F]
[Fsus2][F][Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]Did I escape
or am I cap[Am]tured?[F]
Trapped in a cage of rear
view mir[G]ror eyes.
[F]Triangles that look like [C]faces.[Am]

[Verse 3]
This is what [Am]I get[G][Am]
For my revenge.
[G]A hidd[F]en microphone,
[G]An amber alert implanted
[Am]Under my skin.[F][Am]
It's just in my head [F]but
It takes me over.
It makes [G]me forget why
[Am]I'm on my way.
These [C]four years feel like a hundred.
West[Am]-bound, Driving

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Driving all [F]alone to
make sure that you [G]know.
I've been run[F]ning scared without you.
I [G]drove all night to [Am]tell you.
In dreams I've seen your [F]face with
Another in my [G]place.
I know it was an[F]other life but I
[G]never could for[Am]get y[F]ou.
I never could for[Am]get you.
[F]

[Verse 5]
[G][Am]
We set [F]it up (We set [Am]it up[G])
Like a house [Am]of cards [G]in a h[F]urricane.
[G]We didn't think it would ever make [Am]sense.

[Verse 6]
He [Am]set us [F]up [Am](He set u up),
He knew just where to plant [F]it.

[Verse 7]
It knocked [F]me over,
It made [G]me forget how [Am]I fell in love.
[C]How much I really cared.
West[Am]-bound, Driving

[Verse 8]
[Am]
Driving all [F]alone to make
sure that you [G]know.
I've been running [F]scared without you.
I [G]drove all night to [Am]tell you.
In dreams I've seen your [F]face with
Another in my [G]place.
I know it was an[F]other life but I
[G]never could for[Am]get y[G]ou.
I never could for[Fsus2]get you.[F]
[G]

[Verse 9]
[Am]You'll see me [G]there like [F]a familiar [Fsus2]stranger
[F]sta[G]nding on the str[Am]eet.
I'll say a [G]prayer,
I'll intro[F]duce [Fsus2]myself like it[F]'s th[G]e first time we'd ev[Am]er me[G]et.[Am]
In [C]California,
I'd [D]learn that sometimes you [F]have to [G]run [Am]away.
In [C]California,
I'd [D]find myself [F]again.[G]
[Am]West-bound,

[Verse 10]
Driving Driving all [F]alone to make
sure that you [G]know.
I've been running [F]scared without you.
[G]I drove all night to [Am]tell you.
In dreams I've seen your [F]face with
Another in my [G]place.
I know it was an[F]other life but
I [G]never could [Am]forget you.
