Intro: G C D  G C D 


[Verso 1]
 
G 
Packed her bags, hit the road 
      C             D 
She's headed out of town 
         G 
And it's late, lights are out 
            C          D 
And there's not a soul around 
Em 
Well she knows in her heart 
             D 
It's time to make a new start 
         Em      C          D 
So she's finally seized the day 
                    C    G 
This is the great escape 


[Verso 2]
 
G 
Now she thinks to herself 
          C                      D 
Don't you look in that rear view mirror 
           G 
Don't give up on your dreams 
          C             D 
And she's overcome with tears 
Em                      D 
Nobody knows what she's feeling inside 
       Em            C           D 
Or the heartache she faced every day 
                   C    G 
Before the great escape 


[Verso 3]

            Em 
Now you can think what you want 
          D 
She's not running away 
      Em          C           D 
She's really just running somewhere 
     Em 
To a place she called home 
       D 
Such a long time ago 
        Em       C         D 
And somebody who loves her there 
C                  D 
There's no time to waste 
                   C     G 
This is the great escape
