[Verse]
A Bm F#m
I'm going back, back again
A Bm F#m
Flying solo, only myself to blame

Taking my chances time and time again
A Bm E
Goodbye to you my old friend
[Chorus]
D F#m
Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop
A E
Hitting the road, it's all that I've got
D F#m E
It's automatic

Foot to the floor, I can't take anymore
A E
Running from the life I tried to ignore
D F#m A E
It's automatic, automatic
[Verse]
A Bm F#m
Feeling sadness, feeling shame

I've taken the easy way out over and over again

Open road, I'm coming home

I'm free to live, I'm free to roam
[Chorus]

Cause I'm ready to go, this feeling won't stop

Bring it right down, get ready to stop

Turn it right round, go back to the start

Bring it right down, get ready to stop

Turn it right round, turn it right round, turn it right round
Go back to the start
[Instrumental]
