Lyrics

(F#m)I don’t want to wait a ny more, I’m tired of look ing for an swers, take me some place where there’s mu sic and there’s laugh ter.

I don’t know if I’m scared of dy ing but I’m scared of liv (A)ing too fast, too slow, re gret, re morse, hold on, no, no, (F#m)I’ve got ta go.

There’s no start ing o ver and no new be gin (A)nings, time rac es on, just got ta keep on keep ing on.

Got ta keep on go ing, look ing (A)straight out on the road, can’t wor ry ’bout what’s be hind you or what’s com ing for you (F#m)fur ther up the road.

Try not to hold on to what is gone, I try to do right what is wrong, I try to keep on keep ing on.

Yeah, I just (E)keep on keep ing on.

I hear a voice (A)call ing, call ing out for (F#m)me,

these shack les I’ve (A)made in an at tempt to be (F#m)free.

Be it for rea son, be it for love,

(D)I (A)won’t (E)take the (Bm)ea (A)sy (F#m)road.

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

woah.

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

woah.

I’ve wo ken up in a ho tel room, my wor ries as big as the moon, hav ing no i de a what or where I am.

Some thing good comes with the bad, a song’s nev er just sad, there’s hope, there’s a sil ver lin ing.

Show me my sil ver lin ing,

show me my sil ver lin ing.

I hear your voice (A)call ing, call ing out for (F#m)me,

these shack les I’ve (A)made in an at tempt to be (F#m)free.

Be it for rea son, be it for love,

(D)I (A)won’t (E)take the (Bm)ea (A)sy (F#m)road.

I (F#m)won’t take the (A)ea sy road, the (E)ea sy road, the ea sy road,

Ooh, ooh, ooh,
