Verse 1:
 
     C#/F 
I'm staring at the clock 
    F#                      Ab 
I'm wondering why I'm still here 
       C#/F 
And my head's about to pop 
    F#                          Ab 
I'm thinking that you best stay clear 
   C#/F 
Oh How did I get stuck in this  
   F# 
predicament I don't know 
Ab 
  I wanna throw this  
reputation out the window 
C#/F 
    I'm getting tired of  
F#                      Ab 
wondering why I'm still here 


Refrain:
 
And I wish that  
       F# 
I could  snap 
my finger make  
myself disappear 
Ab 
  Snap my finger 
get myself outta here 
F# 
  Snap my fingers 
                Ab 
snap my fingers oh oh 


Chorus 1: 
                  C# 
Cause I rather be anywhere else 
F#            Ab 
anywhere else anywhere else but here 
                  C# 
Cause I rather be anywhere else 
F#            Ab 
anywhere else anywhere else but here 
           C# 
I could be catching the waves 
           F# 
I could be seeing the world 
           Ab 
I could be riding with the 
top down kissing my girl 
                  C# 
Cause I rather be anywhere else 
F#            Ab 
anywhere else anywhere else but here 


Post-Chorus: C# 


Verse 2:
 
    C#/F 
The sun is coming up 
      F#               Ab 
don't wanna get out of bed 
     C#/F 
Well here we go again I'm 
F#                   Ab 
back to where I've began 
   C#/F 
Oh you could take my checkbook 
F# 
credit cards and keep them 
Ab 
  I'd give them up for a 
just little bit of freedom  
C#/F 
    And my escape I'm 
F#                Ab 
planning it in my head

           Ab 
I could be sitting at  
home not giving a fuck 
                  C# 
Cause I rather be anywhere else
