[G]Things are getting [C]just a-too cosy for [G]me,[C][G]
I'm not seeing [C]people as they see [G]me,[C][G]
Gonna break a[C]way and gain cont[G]rol,[C][G][G/F#][Em]
You free your mind, you free your [D]soul.[G]

I was the [C]type who knocked at old [G]men [C] [G] (history's easy)
Who together at [C]tables sit and drink [G]beer ([C]some[G]where is really)
Then I saw that [C]I was really the [G]same,[C][G][G/F#][Em]
So this link's breaking away from the [D]chain.

Away from the [G]numbers,[Am]
Away from the [C]numbers
Is where I'm gonna [D]be.
Away from the [G]numbers,[Am]
Away from the [C]numbers[D]
Is where I am [G]free

[G]Ooh, ooh, [D]ooh, [C]ooh
[G]Ooh, [C]ooh, [D]ooh...

Away from the [G]numbers (away from the [Am]numbers)
Away from the [C]numbers (ooh-ooh-[D]ooh)
Is where I'm gonna [G]be.[Am]

I was sick and tired of my little [G]niche,[C][G][F#][F]
I'm gonna break away and find what life [D]is.

And all those [C]fools I thought were my [G]friends ([C]coa[G]sting is easy)
They now stare [C]at me and don't see a [G]thing (re[C]a-[G]lity's so hard)
'Til their life is [C]over and they start to [G]moan,[C][G][G/F#][Em]
How they've never had the chance to make it [D]good.

Away from the [G]numbers,[Am]
Away from the [C]numbers
Is where I'm gonna [D]be,
Away from the [G]numbers (away from the [Am]numbers)
Away from the [C]numbers[D]
Is where I am [G]free (ooh-ooh-[D]ooh)

Is where I am [G]free (ooh-ooh-[D]ooh)

Is where I'm gonna be (ooh-ooh-ooh)
It's reali[G]ty (ooh-ooh-[D]ooh)
