Intro: bass only but you can play G, C if you want.
     
     G
I'll never forget when we started out

A beat of the drum, a face in the crowd  
     C
It's better this way, it's better this way

How far we've come now not a soul can change


   G
Remember the road running under our feet

We'd shoot for the stars but we'd aim at the trees
     C
It's better this way, it's better this way

Gambling with life it was our turn to play


      G
It's time 
                                          C
Only when you look forward can you see behind? 

We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride


G
Every trial and every test

We'd drive to the East and we'd fly to the West
      C
Just running away, just running away

We can be different 'cause they're all the same


G
Every night that we'd ever start

In every beat of every heart
    C
Is running way, just running away

Catching our breath at the end we could say


     G
It's time
                                           C
Only when you look forward can you see behind?
                                           G
Every taste we could get was just sweet sublime
                                     C
Holding on to the moment we let go alive

We bought the ticket so we'll take the ride


Em
Day after day in the light
       C
We're glowing in the dark
G 
Standing was the sketch
      D
Where falling wasn't hard
   Em
We lost ourselves to find 
       C
We're somewhere down the line 

     G
It's time

    G
For some it's a God, for me it's a fact
   C
We make a mistake and try taking one back
     G
It's better this way, it's better this way
C
Out of the grind and then into the grave


     G
It's time
                                           C
Only when you look forward can you see behind?
