Driving (approx. q=115)

chance

leave

me.

If I

look hard

e nough-

in to-

the set

ting- sun

I see

my fut

ure- and

Ive got

it on

the run.

but it scares

me

so,

yeah, it scares

me

so.

I nev

er- had

to try

and make

it on

my own.

I nev

er- had

to work

my fin

-

gers- to

the bone.

And it scares

me

so,

yeah, it scares

me

so.

There are things

I want

but they feel

so far

a way.-

And I

am clos

er- now

that I was

just yes

ter- day.-

But if I

start now

Ill

be

one

step

clos er- to my

dream.

Each day

my life

is chang

ing- right

be fore-

my eyes.

I see

a world

that I

And it scares

Oh,

stay here

Ill be stuck

here in

the past.

I am eigh

teen- now,

but thir

ty- five

is com

ing- fast.

So if I

start now

Ill

be

If

ev ry- things-

worth some

thing- mon e- tar

-

then

how much will my wish

es- end up cost

ing-

me?

in that

cresc.

blue and white out

fit- in

the Lone

But if

I
