B D#
I felt invisible, but everyone
E B
Was staring at me
B D#
I felt alone, yet smothered
E B
Like no one would let me be
B D#
I felt a yearning, like a burning
E B
Too hot to overcome
F#
Cuz anything was better
E B
Than where I was from
[Verse 2]
B D#
I met a band, they played a show
E B
And then we head out on the road
B D#
We made it down to Arizona
E B
Where it didn't seem so cold
B D#
I had a California Dream
E B
You know I need that fun fun fun
F#
Cuz anything was better
E B
Than where I was from
[Chorus]
E
Anything was bettеr
B
So I went out on the run
F#
Anything was bettеr
G#
I couldn't wait to see the sun
E
Anything was better
B
I said goodbye to everyone
F#
Cuz anything was better
E B
Than where I was from
[Verse 3]
B D#
Goodbye to old Queen Street
E B
Goodbye to Whitaker Park
B D#
I'm thankful for the lessons
E B
But the memories are dark
B D#
Good riddance to that home
E B
Where the nightmare had begun
F#
Yeah, anything was better
E B
Than where I was from
[Chorus]
E
Anything was better
B
So I went out on the run
F#
Anything was better
G#
I couldn't wait to see the sun
E
Anything was better
B
I said goodbye to everyone
F#
Anything was better
E B
Than where I was from
[Chorus]
E
Anything was better
B
So I went out on the run
F#
Anything was better
G#
I couldn't wait to see the sun
E
Anything was better
B
I said goodbye to everyone
F#
Anything was better
E B
Than where I was from
F#
Anything was better
E B
Than where I was from
