         C#m
For the first time in my life
       E
From a hotel room in Mexico
             B                               A
I've been hanging on this feeling cause it always gets away
     C#m
The first is always right
             E
You never hesitated either
           B
When the words are worth repeating
       A
Everyday will turn to night
           C#m                               E
It's the first time that I try to keep the ending a big secret
          B
Try to change try to cheat it
           A
For the first time in my life


[Chorus]

 F#m                          C#m
But you were looking for direction
                   E
Trying to make it by
                           A
Always looking for the shortcuts
                              F#m
You've been racing this whole time
                          C#m
And everybody wanted something
                      E
But you just can't decide
                      A
Everybody wants the answers
                          C#m   E   C#m   E   G#m
But they're busy telling lies



   C#m                       E
I found a crack when I was younger underneath it
       B                                       A
As I pulled on all the strings to find the pieces
   C#m                       E
I hate to tell you it's just another way to say it
           B
But this thing that you call freedom
         A
No it's not quite what it seems
                               B
You know it's never what it seems

[Chorus]

 F#m                          C#m
But you were looking for direction
                   E
Trying to make it by
                           A
Always looking for the shortcuts
                              F#m
You've been racing this whole time
                          C#m
And everybody wanted something
                      E
But you just can't decide
                      A
Everybody wants the answers
                          C#m   E   C#m   E   G#m
But they're busy telling lies


[Bridge]
C#m
I got the feeling
              E
That you're troubled by your reasons
         G#m
Use the fire it keeps you warm
          A
Use your eyes so you can see them
          C#m
It's the changing of the seasons
           E
When it's always just repeating
           B
Down the line you'll probably see'em
            A
But for now you're deep in thought

[Chorus]

 F#m                          C#m
But you were looking for direction
                   E
Trying to make it by
                           A
Always looking for the shortcuts
                              F#m
You've been racing this whole time
                          C#m
And everybody wanted something
                      E
But you just can't decide
                      A
Everybody wants the answers
                          C#m   E   C#m   E   G#m
But they're busy telling lies
