[F#] [D]
She dreams of a way she's never been.
Her story starts where it should end.
She keeps up by her clothes and folds the pages down.
She needs them all.
The [Bm]
[A] [D]
painted walls are closing in.
So in her head she leaves again.
[G] They've [D] painted the ceilings blue and green.
And brilliant colors she's [F#m] never seen.
[E] But nothing ever happens [A] if you stay in your room.
[D] Nothing ever happens [G] if you leave the [F#m] party too [E] soon.
Never be a winner [A] if you're not in the game.
[D] And nothing ever [A] happens [G] if you [F#m] always play it [E] safe.
[F#m] Make a little [Gm] space [A] and get out of [D] your own way.
[Bm]
[A] [D]
Her ticket out sits on her shelf.
And gathers dust upon itself.
[G] Cause [D] chasing chance is for the brave.
Maybe soon [Bm] she'll feel [F#m] that way.
[E] But nothing ever [A] happens if you stay in your room.
[D] And nothing ever happens [G] if you leave the party [F#m] too [D] soon.
Nothing [Em] ever happens [A] if you don't get hurt.
[D] And nothing ever happens [G] if you never get [F#m] [Em] dirty.
[F#m] Make a little [G] space and [A] go on, [Bm] get out, [C#] go on, get [B] out.
Leave what [E] you don't need.
[G] You're free and [D] the pieces [F#m] will fall into [Bm] place.
You and [E] you only.
[G] Who can make a little space [Gm] and get out of [D] your own way.
[G] She sees [D] the sunlight through [Bm] the crack.
It's only her who [D] holds her back.
And [G] so [D] she takes her deepest [Bm] breath.
Shuts the door and walks down the [Em] steps.
But nothing ever happens [A] if you stay in your room.
[D] Nothing ever happens [G] if you leave the party [F#m] too [E] soon.
Never be a winner [A] if you're not [C#] in the game.
And [D] nothing ever happens [G] if you always [F#m] play it [E] safe.
[F#m] Make a little [G] space [A] and get out of [Em] your own.
[F#m] Oh, get out of [G] your own way.
[A] Get out of your own.
[E] [D] Oh, get out of [G] your own way.
Get [D] out of [Bm] your own [C#] way.
[D]
[E] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
She dreams of a way she's never been.

[D] Nothing ever happens [G] if you leave the party [F#m] too [E] soon.
Never be a winner [A] if you're not [C#] in the game.
And [D] nothing ever happens [G] if you always [F#m] play it [E] safe.
[F#m] Make a little [G] space [A] and get out of [Em] your own.
[F#m] Oh, get out of [G] your own way.
[A] Get out of your own.
[E] [D] Oh, get out of [G] your own way.
Get [D] out of [Bm] your own [C#] way.
[D]
[E] Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
