E Light don't stick to you Like they used to do A Think you've lost your shine E Wishing days away Busy chasing trains A Leaving us behind C#m B Let's get a ticket for those tracks A Don't say a word and don't look back Let's get out of here Let's get out of here C#m B We can get lost between the rails A We've never been afraid to fail Let's get out of here Let's get out of here Chorus: E If you dig up your roots A Then I'll dig up my roots And we can take them with us E Wherever we go And all that we are A Is in the beat of hearts And I know we're ready C#m A To dive into the unknown, E 'cause I'm caught in the middle C#m B A I'd rather break out on my own, E than be caught in the middle Sights set to the sky Sick of standing by Getting itchy feet Need some new places Need some fresh faces No one left to please Let's get a ticket for those tracks Don't say a word and don't turn back Let's get out of here, let's get out of here We can get lost between the rails We've never been afraid to fail Chorus: So, if you dig up your roots Then I'll dig up my roots We can take them with us Wherever we go And all that we are Is in the beat of our hearts And I know we're ready To dive into the unknown 'Cause I'm caught in the middle I'd rather break out on my own Than be caught in the middle F#m A We're carrying our roots C#m In everything we do You know there's nothing left here for us F#m A We've got everything we need C#m It takes a leap to plant the seed B You know there's nothing left here for us Chorus: So, if you dig up your roots Then I'll dig up my roots We can take them with us Wherever we go And all that we are Is in the beat of our hearts And I know we're ready Yes, I know we're ready! So, if you dig up your roots Then I'll dig up my roots We can take them with us Wherever we go And all that we are Is in the beat of our hearts And I know we're ready To dive into the unknown 'Cause I'm caught in the middle I'd rather break out on my own Than be caught in the middle Than be caught in the middle You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  B  C#m  E  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
