[Verse 1]
A5                                      B5             F#5
    I'm standing on a cliff top and I'm looking out to sea
                                  D5             A5
The  sirens of The Netherlands are beckoning me
                                  B5              F#5
I'm  trying to write a ballad that makes you wanna stay
                                         D5           Am
They're easy to come up with but they're difficult to play

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                                                         F
Cause I know what I'm supposed to do but I don't know if I can
                                           Am
Sell  the world a story 'bout a woman and a man
                                         F
Who  meet at the beginning, together they belong
                                                         A
And it feels like they are winning, 'til everything goes wrong


[Chorus]
A              B5   F#5
Take  me to the open road
                  D5       A
I'll Run until my heart ex-plodes
A              B5   F#5
Take me to the open road
                    D5       A
Or give me back the love I'm owed


[Refrain]
A             B5 D5        E5
'Til  my heart ex-plodes
A             B5 D5        E5
'Til my heart explodes


[Verse 2]
A5                                   B5             F#5
   I'm standing in the weather and I can't open the door
                                    D5               A5
Then suddenly it hits me this isn't my house anymore
                                     B5             F#5
I knew you wouldn't listen, so I've given you carte blanche
                               D5         Am
To build a clown asylum on the Neverland ranch


[Pre-chorus]
Am                                            F
I can't believe it's over I can't believe I'm free
                                              Am
To sleep with anybody who wants to sleep with me
                                              F
I never wrote that ballad, there isn't such a song
                                                   A
I tried to make you happy and then everything went wrong


[Chorus]
A              B5   F#5
Take  me to the open road
                  D5       A
I'll Run until my heart ex-plodes
A              B5   F#5
Take me to the open road
                    D5       A
Or give me back the love I'm owed


[Refrain]
A             B5 D5        E5
'Til  my heart ex-plodes
A             B5 D5        E5
'Til my heart explodes
