| Me | an while ba | ck in the ye | ar o | ne, |
| C | G | F | A | |
| When you belon | ged to n | o o | ne. |
| C | G | F | A | |
| You didnt st | and a ch | ance,s | on, |
| C | G | F | D | |
| If your pl | ans were u | ndo | ne. |
| D | Dsus4 | D | |
| G | D | G | D | G | |
| Cause you were | bred for huma | nity and so | ld to soc | iety, |
| D | G | |
| One day you'll wa | ke up in the pr | esent day, |
| Bb | |
| A m | illion generations removed from expectations |
| D | G | A | |
| Of being who you re | ally want to b | e. |
| G | D | G | D | G | D | |
| Ska | ting awa | y, ska | ting awa | y, ska | ting awa | y, |
| G | C | G | C | D | |
| On the thin i | ce of the new da | y, ay e ay ay a | y ! Ay | ay ay a | y ! |
| G | D | |
| So as you push off from the sho | re, |
| A | |
| won't you turn your head once mo | re, and make your peace with |
| D | |
| every | one. |
| G | D | |
| For those who choose to st | ay, |
| A | D | |
| will live just one more d | ay, to do the things they should've d | one. |
| G | Em | A | G | |
| And as you cross the w | ilderness, susp | ended in your e | mptiness, |
| D | |
| you feel you ha | ve to pray. |
| G | F | |
| Looking for a sign that the u | niversal minds |
| D | A | |
| That's written you into their passion pl | ay. |
| CHORUS |
| G | D | A | |
| And as you cross the circle li | ne while the ice world sheets behi | nd, |
| D | |
| you're a rabbit on the r | un. |
| G | D | A | |
| And the silver splinters fl | y in the corner of your e | ye |
| D | |
| shining in the setting s | un |
| G | Em | A | |
| Well, do you e | ver get the fe | eling that the st | ory's too damn real and in |
| D | |
| the pre | sent tense. |
| G | F | |
| Or that ev | erybody's on the stage, a | nd it seems like you're the |
| D | G | A | |

| CHORUS + |

| Ska | ting aw | ay, ska | ting aw | ay, ska | ting aw | ay. |
