Bb Gm Eb Bb Gm Eb
Bb Gm Eb Bb Gm
Eb
[Verse 1]
Bb F
Boxed up all of her favorite things
Gm Eb
Sold the rest at a rainy yard sale
Bb F Gm Eb
Big plans and leaving friends and a westbound sign
Bb F Gm
Weighed out her choices on a scale
Eb
Prevailing nothing made sense
Bb F Gm Eb
Just transportation and a blank decision
Bb Gm
She's taking off
[Chorus]
Eb Bb Gm
Taking off
Eb Bb Gm
Taking off
Eb Bb Gm Eb
Taking off
[Verse 2]
Bb F Gm
No time and no copping out
Eb
She's burning daylight and petrol
Bb F Gm Eb
Blacked out the rearview mirror heading westward on
Bb F Gm
Strung out on a confusion road
Eb
And tenminute nervous breakdowns
Bb F
Xanax, a beer for thought,
Gm Eb
and she's determined
Bb Gm
She's taking off
[Chorus]
Eb Bb Gm
Taking off
Eb Bb Gm
Taking off
Eb Bb Gm
Taking off
[Interlude]
Eb F Ab
Oh, is this salvation?
Eb Bb
Or an escape from discontent?
F Ab
Will she find her name
Eb Bb
In the California cement?
F Ab
Punched out of the grind
Eb Bb
That punched her one too many times
F Ab Eb
Is tragedy two thousand miles away?
Bb F
She's taking off...
[Bridge]

Alright!
