The Great Escape piano leadsheet with chords

I can understand how, when the edges are rough and they cut you like they're tiny slivers of glass,

and you've retreated and you feel too much,

like and you don't know how long you're gonna last.

But ev'ryone you know

is tryin' to smooth it over,

find a way to make the hurt go away.

But ev'ryone you know

is tryin' to smooth it over like you're Ev'ryone to scream a underwater.

But I But I won't let you make the great

escape; I'm never gonna watch you checking out of this place.

I'm not gonna lose you, 'cause the passion and the pain are gonna keep you alive someday,

gonna keep you alive someday.

I feel like I der could my fist in front of your face and you wouldn't flinch,

or even feel ers a thing;

and you've retreated to your silent cor like you decided the fight was over for

But ev'ryone you know

is tryin' to smooth it over,

find a way to make the hurt go away.

Yeah, ev'ryone you know

is tryin' to smooth it over like you're Ev'ryone to needs a they can fall through.

they're gonna keep you alive someday.

Oh, terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me.

And I won't need a pill to make me numb.

And I wrote the book on runnin',

but that chapter of my life will soon be done.

Ah, I'm the king of the great

escape. You're not gonna watch me checking out of this place.

You're not gonna lose me, 'cause the passion and pain are gonna keep us alive someday.

Yeah, the passion and the pain are gonna keep us alive

someday,
